A:
Your question is fundamental. The answer is no, according to most astrophysicists. One can observe the distribution of stars and galaxies and determine the basic constituents needed to duplicate the observed structure. According to the best guesses, dark matter should consist of massive (so far undiscovered) particles.
See
