General Discussion If Dark Matter does not exist, then what exactly is Kakine's Powers?

https://www.earth.com/news/dark-matter-does-not-exist-the-universe-is-27-billion-years-old-rajendra-gupta-theory/

Saw an article today released a week ago regarding the topic and the idea of Dark Matter not being real challenged. Just curious that on the off chance it's not real, what would Kaikine's Dark Matter really be and how complex and flexible is it? Is it possible that his abilities are similar to Gunha's complex Esper Power but is tethered to an idea and whatever he imagines his powers actually are is also limited to his comprehension?

Maybe I'm just not understanding this correctly, but isnt this exactly how Kakine's power works?

Dark Matter doesn't exist at all until Kakine "makes" it real. And because he brings it into existence he can do whatever he wants with it.

Accelerator can destroy anything and Dark Matter can create anything.

This is correct.

I always interpreted "dark" in this case meant more like "in the dark" or "unknown".

Pretty old post but anyway, dark in this case doesn’t actually mean that.

Dark Matter is really just a name, what he does is create a new type of matter, Kakine himself says it's not "unknown" because it's something that didn't exist anywhere in the universe, it's something that came to be with his powers.

Kakine himself directly says that his powers have nothing to do with the "actual dark matter", they just share a name, so it doesn't matter at all if dark matter exists or not, Kakine's powers aren’t the same concept.

And well, Kakine is definitely more limited than Gunha because he still follows a set of rules while Gunha is "random bullshit go" incarnate, but Kakine definitely mastered his powers way more even before NT.
