SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the hypothesis that dark matter may interact with matter and antimatter without leading to annihilation, akin to a neutral force in the universe. Current understanding indicates that physicists have not identified any interactions between dark matter and ordinary matter, aside from elastic scattering. This suggests that dark matter's properties may allow for unique interactions that differ from conventional matter-antimatter dynamics.
