No. Dark matter is a proposed form of matter which does not interact with light.

Normal matter we can't detect isn't dark matter - it's just currently undetected matter. As our observational ability improves we find more of it.

That's WIMPS, early candidates for dark matter included primordial black holes and dust.

WIMPS are most probably not real. They'll keep searching but it's quite unlikely they'll find any.

A good point. I have heard of primordial black holes as a candidate for (at least some) dark matter. Not heard that dust was ever a candidate (if you have a reference it would be appreciated).

Baryonic (tangible) dark matter exists in the form of MACHOs, which includes small cold planetary-mass dwarf stars. But there's a limited number of these, and the Big Bang hydrogen helium ratio puts limits on the amount of baryonic matter there can be.

Dark matter is a question, not a theory.

WIMPS, sterile neutrinos, SIDM, primordial blackholes, MACHO, MoND, entropic gravity, &c all seek to answer the black hole question.
