Dark matter came first, we just moved in later

Without dark matter, we wouldn't exist. It had to collapse and clump and make proto galaxies before ordinary matter could do it. — You're telling me that there protogalactic dark matter galaxies out there? — There were in the early universe and then ordinary matter felt in there. — It wouldn't so much be dark cuz that would imply it absorbed light, but they don't interact with light. They would just be invisible. — Well, made of dark matter, right? So, — There's nothing to see. — Well, except No, no. If it if if it doesn't interact with light, right, — then light just passes through rendering them transparent. — No, because of Einstein's gravitational lensing. — Oh, you see the lensing effects. — You see distant galaxies, the light from behind the dark galaxies will get bent. — Okay. So, it gets bent, — but the dark matter thing itself would be invisible to you. — Yes. — You could just walk through it and you wouldn't even know. — Yes. — Ooh, that's cool. — Chuck, have you met my dark matter friend?
