Drat. I was hoping that there wouldn't be a simple explanation in the
conventional theory, because there's a really simple explanation in my
crackpot theory of dark matter.
My crackpot theory is that dark matter is just normal matter that's
outside the brane in which our universe resides. Brane theory suggests
that gravity is weak because gravitons can travel in all directions,
whereas other force carriers can't travel outside the brane. Objects in
our universe feel the gravity from massive objects in nearby branes, but
don't feel any other forces from them since the other force carriers are
trapped in their branes. The dark matter appears fuzzy because the
separation between the branes is the equivalent of several thousand
light years.
In the crackpot theory, the matter in the other branes cools down in
exactly the same way that normal matter cools down in our universe.
