Are we conflating dark matter and antimatter? Because antimatter is definitely not dark matter.

Okay, I'm not a physicist, astronomer, or quantum theorist, just so you know.
But according to what I've been exposed to, when darkmatter normal matter collide, they create a void, an area of non-existence.
To make a long reply short: An area of non-existence doesn't exist.

If you are trying to convince me or any one else that an area of non-existence Exists, then you have for gotten the very meanings and concepts of the words them selves.
An area of non-existence is an authentic oxymoron. Logically, philosophically, mathematically, and physically it is an impossibility.
Logically: Stop Gates
Philosophically: Non-points (of issue)
Mathematically: Null Sets
Physically: Vacuums, still places, eddies of non-current
There are many non points where it's said nothing exists. The most recognizable being zero as defined in the Null Set. It is, in essence, nothing: non-existence.
