This is the explanation that’s given in the Vedas , the Darwinian foolishly thinks matter first consciousness later , we can say consciousness in its conditioned state requires matter both gross and subtle to live out its surreal illusory existence , as much as today with technological innovation , the public can place helmets over their heads and have an experience of existing in another world .

One can read the third canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam , the fundamental principles of material nature are explained in considerable detail with definite parallels to quantum mechanics,  with minds desires affecting the movements of matter.

Einstein space time continuum..
could be said to fit the vedic model and perhaps could be incorporated into a subtle explanation of dark matter , there are suggestions in scientific papers that dark matter ,is a subtle form of matter , the lower , middle and upper plenary systems described in the Vedas are made of such finer materials , they  operate differently in terms of natures laws of gravity and time . It is acceptable , by Vedic science , the karmic synchronicities of a future existence of a particular jiva that is already beginning to form within  , the subtleties of an individuals mind  , are operating within dark matter . Third, Bhagavatam Canto suggests this kind of science .

One can argue that the expanding universe is caused by consciousness ..and time ..

See this explanation from a Vedic thinker ..

. Dark/Subtle Matter is Composed of High Energy Particles

Dark matter particles include supersymmetric objects and particles. According to scientists, these are higher mass-higher energy particles that have not been detected by our current low energy particle accelerators because of their high energies.

Subtle matter (in traditional metaphysical theories) is considered to be made up of highly energetic particles which generally becomes visible (as objects) after some training in meditation or similar exercises. In Hindu metaphysics, we find references to not only the “anu” (i.e. standard physical particles) but “param-anu” (which are super-physical particles). Valerie Hunt, Professor Emeritus at UCLA and internationally recognized authority in the area of energy field medicine, says that “even ancient Hindu literature asserts that the energy body possesses a higher vibration [or frequency] than normal matter-energy.” Modern ‘seers’ were unanimous in their opinion that subtle bodies consist of “as yet undiscovered higher frequency matter and energy” and have mass – long before any widespread awareness of dark matter or supersymmetry theories.

Expansions and contractions of universal affairs have been going on since time immemorial.  The expansion of the universe is caused by time and consciousness , a consciousness under the control of time that’s under the control of a time giver and a facilitator…
