Most of the universe is invisible to us. We can see only 4% of the material and energy in the universe. 28% of material is so-called dark matter or gravity effect with invisible source. And the 68,3% of the universe is dark energy.
In some models the strings that dark matter forms are behind the cosmic web. Another thing is that dark matter is not homogenously spread around the universe. That thing means that dark matter can interact with other dark matter particles. Dark matter can form quite similar structures as visible material.
Dark matter is the invisible source of the dark gravity effect. That gravity effect seems coming from nowhere. That's why researchers think that there should be some kind of weakly interacting massive particle WIMP hiding somewhere in the material. It's possible. That WIMP can tunnel itself even through atoms. But that is the only hypothesis for why we cannot see those particles.
The WIMP can be an independent particle, some kind of ghost, or a quasiparticle. Sometimes is introduced that dark energy can form a quasiparticle. That is like a miniature cosmic void. And this thing makes the dark gravity effect possible. In the most interesting models, the WIMP is the gravitational maser phenomenon. Gravity is wave movement and the maser emission can increase the gravity wave's power.
The dark matter particles are purely speculative things. And maybe supernovas and black holes can help to answer the question. Why cannot we see dark matter? The idea is that when the supernova explosion happens and forms a black hole, the researchers can measure the mass of dark matter.
They must know the star's mass.
Then they must measure how much material the supernova explosion threw into the universe.
And calculate the predicted mass of the black hole.
Then they must measure the black hole's real mass. The difference between a black hole and a calculated mass is the dark matter's mass.
Gravity is the only known force that makes material interact with dark matter. That means the black hole can act as a connector between dark and visible material. And that gravity field also pulls dark matter in the singularity.
The dark matter is (or at least could be) the reason why the black holes in the young universe grew faster than they should. In black holes, the dark matter and visible material form an entirety. So the visible- and dark matter form black holes together. The gravity effect from dark matter tells. That the black holes can pull dark matter in it. As well as black holes pull visible material into the singularity.
In some models, the dark matter is the singularity where the particles in the protons and neutrons are packed into one shell. That forms a smooth and dense object. The quantum singularity and maybe that kind of particle or quantum scale black holes are the hypothetical WIMPs. Theoretically, this kind of a very small black hole can form if the antimatter detonates round protons or neutrons.
