A question for those of you who know about the distribution of dark matter in the galaxy:
Do we know how "clumpy" dark matter is? Can we tell yet whether dark matter is distributed about as densly as a gas or whether it's possible that there are the equivalent mass distributions that might contain "dark matter star systems"?
The reason I ask is that I'm curious if that it's possible that dark matter may end up to be purposely hidden star systems in order to effect the Fermi Paradox "they choose not to interact with us" hypothesis. Granted, we'd be talking about a > type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale, probably a type II.
