No one has any idea what Dark Matter is. WIMPs are just one of many proposed theories for what it is. Another is that it might just be ordinary matter in a "parallel universe" only a millimeter or so away from our universe, but in one of the invisible 7 dimensions of the 11 dimensional Spacetime required by String Theory.
What else can I help you with?
Could dark matter be a type of strange matter?
No it is not
Is there any way to get samples of dark matter?
NO we can not get the samples of dark matter as it is the type of matter in astronomy and cosmology that can not be even seen with telescopes.
Can 'dark matter' be used as a type of slingshot for travelling at speeds faster than light?
No, dark matter cannot be used as a slingshot for travelling faster than light. Dark matter interacts gravitationally with normal matter, but we have no evidence that it can propel objects faster than the speed of light.
Why can't the dark matter in galaxy clusters be neutral hydrogen?
Neutral hydrogen emits at 21 cm in the radio band. Studies have shown that less than 1% of the mass of most galaxies is neutral hydrogen. This is far less than the amount of matter that needs to be there to explain the observational consequences.
How are dark matter and dark energy similar?
No, at present dark matter can't be used as energy. However, when Marco Polo went to China he observed the them burning black rocks (coal) for heat. This was an unknown and unexpected source of energy in Europe at the time. Undiscovered sources of energy are by definition presently unknown.
What are WIMPS?
In astrophysics [See Link], weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs, are hypothetical particles serving as one possible solution to the dark matter problem.If they exist, they will be everywhere.However, because WIMPs may only interact through gravitational and weak forces, they are extremely difficult to detect.
Could dark matter be a type of strange matter?
No it is not
What does WIMP means?
"WIMP" stands for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle. It is a hypothetical type of dark matter particle that is thought to make up a large portion of the universe's mass. WIMPs are predicted by some theories in particle physics, such as supersymmetry.
Is there any way to get samples of dark matter?
NO we can not get the samples of dark matter as it is the type of matter in astronomy and cosmology that can not be even seen with telescopes.
What's the dark matter in the universe?
Dark matter is matter of an unknown type. It is known to exist, due to its gravitational influence, but it is not known what it is made of. There is at least 5 times as much dark matter than "normal" matter.
What is matter in the universe?

Where can you find dark type Pokemon?
any place with phsycic types or any dark place for that matter.
What matter gives off no electromagnetic radiation?
Dark matter is a type of matter that does not interact with electromagnetic radiation, making it invisible and undetectable using traditional methods.
Can 'dark matter' be used as a type of slingshot for travelling at speeds faster than light?
No, dark matter cannot be used as a slingshot for travelling faster than light. Dark matter interacts gravitationally with normal matter, but we have no evidence that it can propel objects faster than the speed of light.
What is the universes most common matter?
According to current estimates, the mass in the Universe is made up of: * 68% dark energy. Not much is known yet about this type of substance. * 27% dark matter. Not much is known about this type of substance, either. * 5% regular matter - matter of known composition. Most of the regular matter is in the form of atoms; and most of it is in a state of matter known as a plasma.
What is the state of most of the matter is the universe?
The most common type of energy/mass in the Universe is in the form of dark energy, followed by dark matter. Only about 4% of the Universe is in the form of "normal" (baryonic) matter. If it is specifically to this matter you refer: the most common state of matter is plasma, found in stars.
