No, it is not.

Dark matter is a slightly more scientific way of saying "hypothetical stuff that we know almost nothing about, but imagining that it exists is easier than rewriting all of physics, especially since we know from experience some of the physics we'd have to rewrite actually works fine just as it is." We really don't know what dark matter is exactly (there are a few different theories, and it's quite possible that it's a little from Column A and a little from Column B), we just know that either it has to be there or we don't understand large-scale physics nearly as well as we thought we did.
