Dark Matter is a conceptual issue. It's effective definition is 'mass without interaction with light', or rather, an attempt to add inertia to the
system.
Excessive amounts of research has gone into trying to observe or prove dark matter in ways like you suggest, but they have all failed. In terms of
reconstructing highly shifted images, that is possible, but there is likely a limit. If we consider a highly shifted wave that gives us a 1 Hz wave
(1 peak per second), we could consider this as '1 photon per second'. If we relate this to the 1420 Mhz of the Hydrogen line, this would correspond
to a slowdown of '1.4 trillion %' or a source that is moving 99.999999993% the speed of light. As we get to even lower photon rates, this quickly
becomes unreasonable, but also implies that anything we cannot see is moving faster than the speed of light.
This is where modern physics literally breaks down. Currently I believe there are 7 competing theories on this topic on how and why the observations
do not line up with any current model.
Think about a jet flying away from you at Mach 1.5, will you hear it? Will you ever hear it?
One of the reasons this gets so complicated is the concept called 'Inertia'. If you shoot a cannon out of a car moving as fast as the cannon, the
cannon ball will go either 0 relative to the medium (someone watching) or 2x as fast if shot forward. Mythbusers have a video on this. In terms of
light, this is the doppler shift. If we shoot forward, air resistance dampens the effect, as the speed of light dampens light moving forward.
This damping effect is the non-linear component of compression of the wave, which as it approaches infinity results in a 'singularity'. In air-space,
this is a sonic boom, in light-space (ether) this is not widely believed to be possible.
Redshift is the case of 'moving away'. This is the linear portion of the effect. A curious case of this is that unless the light is moving exactly
away from us, or is moving significantly faster than light, we will always see it.
For the Time question, the concept of the 'medium' has to come into focus. Most traditional science will tell us that earth moves through the medium.
However, all attempts to experimentally show this have failed and imply the opposite.

Remember that the speed of light, and the perceived speed of light are two different things. Most of our concept of Time is based on the perceived
speed of light. When thunder and lighting happen, are you seeing into the future, or hearing the past? In order for both to be in the past, we need
to have an 'aetheric time', but that is not a time we can perceive. At least not yet.
I know this is sort of a non answer in some ways, but new age mysticism effectively says if you come to this answer you ascend to the 'next
vibrational frequency'.
