Dark Matter?

If we accept for a minute the existence of Dark Matter is 3/5th - 4/5th of the matter in the Universe and that apart from the Gravitation influence is undetectable , would it be conceivable that it is in fact a parallel reality running alongside our own universe, or maybe we have found Heaven (or Hell).

    In ancient times Heaven and Hell were thought to be actual geographic places. Heaven was beyond the sphere of the stars (the outermost sphere of the universe) and Hell was at the center of the earth. They saw volcanoes and figured they must be the chimneys of Hell, and that's how they knew it was hot.

    But more recently we see Heaven and Hell as parallel universes, 'a different plane of existence'. Could they take up the same space as the known physical universe? Maybe! Who can say?

    No. Get away with religious brainwashed stories.

    If it were a parallel reality, how would it affect us gravitationally?

    Too many 'ifs'. What we do know is that we don’t know enough.
