The universe has an active shadow world

Physicists may not yet have discovered dark matter, because they are looking for the wrong type of particles. Dark matter is supposed to be particles without a charge. So, they only react with other particles via gravity. But the darkness of the universe might instead be made up of an invisible shadow world, which behaves just like visible matter internally, also reacting via gravity.

PROOF: Shadow photons might be produced by making electrons collide with metal and decay into a pair of electrons and positrons.
