Is Dark Matter the Result of the Big Bang?

AI Thread Summary
Dark matter is believed to have formed during the Big Bang, although its exact nature remains unknown. There is no established relationship between dark matter and dark energy, despite both terms containing "dark." Dark energy is not a byproduct of dark matter, similar to how gravity arises from ordinary matter. The discussion highlights the ongoing mystery surrounding dark matter and its origins. Understanding these concepts is crucial for advancing knowledge in cosmology.

How did dark matter form? and is dark energy a result of dark matter like gravity is a result of ordinary matter?

There is no relationship between dark matter and dark energy, other then having "dark" in their name.
 
We don't know what dark matter is. It apparently was formed at the big bang.
