So let me get this straight. You asked for galaxies,

No I didn't!

Well, technically you asked for 'dark matter between the galaxies'. Now
then, right there is a problem... because the current understanding of
how galaxies form is that they form by dark matter clumps or 'halos'
attracting baryonic matter.

So, if that is true, we would expect *not* to find a lot of dark matter
'between galaxies', wouldn't we?


Hmmm!

Let me think! DM aggregates galaxies! Fair enough!
Are you saying every "clump" of DM has aggregated a galaxy?

Prob not! So where are the isolated DM "Clumps" in deep space?

"Prob(ably) not" is not evidence, or even an educated guess.
So why would you expect "isolated DM 'Clumps' in deep
space", other than you think they should be there for some
unknown reason?
