Is dark matter just the accumulation of photons that have lost

Where would those old photons come from, anon?

>>8549596
No. Dark matter has some weird properties. It doesn't seem to condense like normal matter does and form celestial bodies. It seems to be a sphere around the entire galaxy but does not collapse into smaller objects like dark stars. If it was photons it would become a black hole.

From anything that produced the light in the first place, stars, a flashlight....

Perhaps it doesn't have enough mass, even after billions of years.

From the gravity it exhibits, it has more mass than regular matter.
