I think the dark matter issue is being overly complicated. Maybe because of the cool name ' DARK MATTER '. We can see objects from a far distance in space because of the light it emits, like a star for example. Matter attracts matter so big objects will pull in smaller object via gravity. So there isn't anything stopping a large object that isn't gas or something else that emits light from growing just as huge as something that does emit light. So these large star sized objects won't be seen by us but will have a hell of a gravitational pull. This is what is labeled 'dark matter' Stars don't always explode they could under certain circumstances (depending on what kind of matter it pulled in) just fizzle out and lose that energy that was causing all that heat. Which is another way how a huge star sized object can form but be undetected by us from a far distance. Dark Matter = large object we can't see with a very strong gravitation pull that we can detect.
