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.
