I find I can't rule out a purpose or an unknown reason while something like 95% of the universe is composed of dark matter and dark energy that isn't "dark" so much as just completely unknown. Could be anything, but is definately something.
It certainly allows for there being a lot more on the "other side of the coin", the side we can't interact with scientifically.
I think we will solve the issue of dark matter once we isolate the cause of gravity. The only reason we think there is dark matter is because we can detect the effects of gravity, but cannot seem to locate where it is all coming from. Basically, we only suspect there is dark matter because we can detect gravity. But from whence comes gravity(specifically)?
I've personally speculated the possibility that gravity is simply a property of space, and matter can only form in points in space that have higher gravity, but don't necessarily have to...or that maybe the dark matter is areas where there is a high volume of diffused weaker gravity points (too weak to allow for matter to accumulate). I'm certainly not qualified to make claims of this nature, but I do speculate on it from time to time. It's certainly an interesting field of inquiry.
