Best Answer

Since dark matter has mass, it is able to warp time and space, which also makes it able to bend light. The effect of dark matter on space-time (and, therefore, light) is the same as that of regular matter.

Depends what you mean by "a lot." The gravitational effect of dark matter -- whatever the stuff happens to be -- is about six times greater than that of all the visible matter in our Universe.


Is the simplest kind of matter invisible?

It depends what you mean by simplest. If you mean the smallest forms of matter, they are microscopic not invisible. If you mean basic components of matter such as quarks, atoms, molecules and so on, the answer is again that they are subatomic to microscopic in size and so not able to be seen without aid, yet not invisible. The only things that are truly invisible neither absorb nor scatter light, and therefore we can not see them in the visible light spectrum, like dark matter.
