We don't yet know enough about dark matter - or even if it really exists - to be able to speculate on what "form", if any, it might take.

You have to remember that "dark matter" is entirely theoretical, based on the supposed fact that the Milky Way doesn't have enough mass to keep it together, and that therefore there must be additional matter that we can't see - "dark" matter - to keep it all together. We've never detected any, nor do we know if we CAN detect any.

What is a possible spacial abnormality that might destroy milky way quasar for example?

First, a few clarifications. Quasars are related to black holes. Our Milky Way has no quasar; meaning that the black hole is currently "inactive", which basically means that it is not gobbling up a lot of matter. According to current scientific knowledge, there is really nothing that can destroy a black hole. It will gradually evaporate, but that takes a long, long time. For more details about this evaporation, search for information about "Hawking radiation".

What is the star called located in the center of the milky way galaxy?

Because of the clouds of gas and dust that exist in the Milky Way, we are unable to see stars near the core of the galaxy. So, if there is one there, it does not have a name. But it is entirely possible that there is not star at the center of our galaxy. Recent radio telescope observations indicate that many galaxies contain hyper-massive black holes at their centers, and our own Milky Way might be among them.


What can be possible reason for matter prevailing over antimatter?

well.. it might have something to do with that protons are bigger than electrons in matter and that works out better than antimatter where positrons are the smaller in mass.


Is matter trapped energy?

It might be considered that way, because of the formula E=mc2. That doesn't mean you can freely convert matter to energy and vice versa, but in some cases this is possible.
