What is Dark Matter Composed Of

Is it possible that dark matter is made up of undiscovered quantum particles we have not found yet. The temperatures at the Big Bang could possibly yield particles that can�t occur normally.

Yes indeed, dark matter could be composed of particles that were made during the "Big Bang".  In fact, this is a theory that is currently being discussed.   The acronym that is used is Wimp , "Weakly Interacting Massive Particle".  Several searches are currently underway for wimps.  So far, no luck.

There is a nice article on wimps at      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly_interacting_massive_particles
