Dark matter is a mathematical construct to explain what we can not understand.  It is a veritable "placeholder" until we figure out why the standard model does not explain the motion of the galaxies correctly.  Don't think of it as an entity, think of it as a name given to that which we cannot see, but suspect is there...  Kind of like the Boogeyman.  Wikipedia is bane of our existence.
