Could dark matter be dark photons?

Dark or black photons are the hypothetical antiparticles of the photon. Photon is the transmitter particle of electromagnetism. We know that electromagnetism has a pushing and pulling effect. If electromagnetism is like the weak interaction where Z- and W-bosons are transmitting repel and pulling versions of weak nuclear force. 

The electromagnetism should also have different carrier particles for pushing and pulling forces. So those transporting particles should be "white photons" or known photons. And the dark photons are the hypothetical anti-photons. 

Nobody has seen them yet. And in some theories the dark photons are gravitons. The problem with that theory is this: nobody measured the mass of a photon yet. If we say that photons that we already know are "white photons", we must ask why photons don't photons have mass. 




Image 2 is the evolving universe. In the young universe were lots of photons. And then those photons disappeared or connected to the electrons. The idea of those photons is that they might have mass. Or in some models, the universe was hotter than those photons. That means the wave movement traveled to those photons. But were those photons similar to photons today? 

But they can increase the energy level of the target objects. There is the possibility that when photons are traveling between objects. They are turning to strings or wave motion. And when they are impacting to some other object like an electron. The impact area is so small, that researchers cannot measure the photon's mass. 

Photon is different than other particles. Sir Isaac Newton predicted that a photon has two forms. Wave movement and particle. There is the possibility that the photon is not a ball or whisk-looking particle. In that case, the photon looks like waves or crinkles. When a photon hits another particle it starts to crinkle rather than turn into a ball.

In some other models, the photon is so a high-energy particle that its shine will push quantum fields away from it. That thing forms the situation that photon flows between other particles. In another version of this model, the photon is like tape or string. That particle pushes other quantum fields away from it. Or the quantum-level interaction makes a situation the photon doesn't touch with other particles. 

But when we are saying that "white photons" or photons that we know are "warm" particles that hover above material, we can say that thing explains why photon doesn't have mass. So in this case we can think that the mythical "dark photon" has a very low energy level. That means "dark photon" has mass and energy travels into that mythical particle. 

The idea of a dark photon is that its size is so small that wave movement makes the ring around it. Or it travels past that very low-energy particle. That thing makes it possible that the dark photon can accelerate wave movement. And that tells it's the source of the mysterious dark energy. The dark photon is a myth. But it should exist.
