Observations of the Bullet Cluster indicate that whatever this dark stuff
is it has inertia and moves much more slowly than light, so it must have a
rest mass and it must both produce gravity and be effected by it. To a
physicist anything that has those properties is matter even if it's dark,
that is to say you can't see it because it is not effected by
electromagnetic waves.
