We have never actually detected "dark matter", and the properties of this so-far-hypothetical substance haven't been fully defined.
There is one element of "dark" matter - solar neutrinos - that do, to the best of our knowledge, pass unaltered through human bodies - or stone buildings, or in fact, the entire Earth. The problem is that neutrinos also apparently pass unaltered through our most sensitive neutrino detectors, thus evading detection. The question these days is whether we're not detecting neutrinos because our detectors aren't sensitive enough - which means that we need to re-work our theoretical understanding of physics - or because the Sun isn't producing neutrinos - which means that we need to re-work our theoretical understanding of physics.
Either way, it looks like we need to re-work our theoretical understanding of physics.

What is a dark matter microscope used for?
There's no such thing as a "dark matter microscope." The whole point of dark matter is that it doesn't interact with electromagnetic radiation... if it did, it wouldn't be dark matter.
How strong is dark matter?
Dark matter's strength is proportional to it's mass. This means that more dark matter in one spot is stronger then a little bit of dark matter in that same spot.
When was Dark Matter - series - created?
Dark Matter - series - was created in 2004.
What is the temperature of dark matter?
At present we do not know. It might be almost motionless, it might have a high velocity, it might have a velocity near that of light. These three hypotheses of the nature of dark are called (respectively); cold dark matter, warm dark matter, and hot dark matter.
Is the universe matter?
The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.
IE = mc 2 I being information. Now we know what dark matter is. Observe it at a human sensory level it becomes normal matter. Could this be possible?
No, this is not possible. Dark matter is a form of matter that is undetectable by human senses, because it does not interact with any of the four fundamental forces that affect the visible universe (electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and gravity). Therefore, it is impossible for dark matter to become normal matter as observed at a human sensory level.
Is it true that dark matter is made mainly of neutron stars and black holes?
A broader answer would still be no. There is no consensus on what the so-called "dark matter" is.
What is the definition of a lampost?
An erect metal pole of which wires are ran trhough to a bulb at the top, which with the help of a sensor,is able to light up when it gets dark.
Is there anything that has more gravity than a black hole?
Yes, larger bodies of dark matter that are considered responsible for pulling apart the universe.
Where is the largest dark matter in the universe?
Dark matter is everywhere, there really is no place that has the most dark matter.
Is dark matter a subatomic particle?
Dark matter is an unknowm form of matter.
What is a dark matter microscope used for?
There's no such thing as a "dark matter microscope." The whole point of dark matter is that it doesn't interact with electromagnetic radiation... if it did, it wouldn't be dark matter.
What is the scientific term for the opposite of dark matter?
The opposite of dark matter is visible matter.
How strong is dark matter?
Dark matter's strength is proportional to it's mass. This means that more dark matter in one spot is stronger then a little bit of dark matter in that same spot.
What can matter not be?
dark matter
What colour is dark matter?
Dark matter is invisible. It doesn't interact with light.
When was Hooray for Dark Matter created?
Hooray for Dark Matter was created in 2005.
