Is it possible that the physical properties and gravitational forces associated with dark matter are related to the energy content of space? Einstein’s equation of E=mc^2.defined the quantity of energy in a given volume of space in terms of its equivalent quantity of mass. Since Einstein defined mass and energy to be equivalent by his equation E=mc^2 we must assume that energy posses properties associated with mass including gravitational forces. Is it possible the gravitational forces associated with Dark matter are related to the mass equivalent of the energy associated with the background energy of the universe?

Hum, you seek the dark-side... Yes it maybe that the dark-energy & dark matter may in-fact be the anti-particle/energy of the all the virtual particles ( an infinite or almost infinite amount) in the universe. They may cancel out each other out. thus omega would equal zero. (but over time may change to create the big-rip)
