Ok so I was pondering dark matter the other day. Why I don't know. But I had a thought(changed from theory because it really seemed to bother people I used that term)...most likely this theory has been postulated somewhere sometime but here we go.
First, I believe that we aren't the only intelligent beings in the universe. Also, I believe it's likely that there exists a higher plane of existence somewhere somehow.
So. What if there exists an energy based entity out there. I'll stop short of calling it a lifeform, cause that leads us to compare it to our life existence, which I don't think needs to be true.
Anyway....What if this entity is energy based, operating at a higher plane than ours. It can travel faster than the speed of light and meanders through the universe. Maybe as an energy based form, it consumes energy in the universe to survive. So as it travels through the universe, it leaves part of itself behind. No different that if we walk. We leave skin flakes, sweat, odors, etc behind us. But because this energy is so high(compared to what we know) and it is traveling faster that the speed of light, that energy left behind converts into mass using Einstein's E=MC2 equation and THAT is what we call dark matter. After all we can't directly detect it, we can only detect what it does to our world..IE Mass which affects our gravity.
Yeah I know this is kind of Star Treck-y, but it is something I have pondered. Anyone in the physics field wanna weigh in on this and tell me to stop watching Sci Fi stuff?
