Could dark matter be considered a state of matter along with the six other states?

Question

What does that have to do with the question Billy?.....You don't believe?

Answer 1

A state, or phase, of matter describes how a set of particles are bound to each other and/or their container, not the particles themselves. Dark matter particles are essentially free, neutrally charged, and interact very weakly with each other. That defines a gas.

Incidentally, "beam" is not a distinct state of matter, just one of the others (usually gas or plasma) whose center of mass is moving at high velocity.  

Answer 2

As far as my reading and understanding goes...scientists aren't even sure what exactly "dark matter" or "dark energy" even is or what it's composed of, they basically just know it's there and the research goes on.

Answer 3

It could be but no one knows yet. So no, for the time being.

Answer 4

  Dark matter was invented to explain something that likely doesn't exist.

  It is an attempt to explain why a galaxy can act like a solar system when it obviously isn't.

Answer 5

There are four states of matter, dark matter could be any except plasma.

Answer 6

States of matter are a class of materials, usually solid, liquid, and gas, Ionized Plasma, Quark-gluon plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate and fermionic condensate.  Let's see, now that would be seven states already not six!

  Dark matter is matter that does not interact with the electromagnetic force, but whose presence can be inferred from gravitational effects on visible matter. According to present observations of structures larger than galaxies, as well as Big Bang cosmology, dark matter accounts for the vast majority of mass in the observable universe.

   It appears that dark matter is matter,  therefore dark is a state and dark matter is a state of matter!!!!
