TL;DR Summary

Dark matter is a crucial component in the formation of large-scale structures in the Universe, with its presence inferred from various observations such as the velocities of galaxies in clusters, gravitational lensing, and mass separation during cluster collisions. While most galaxies adhere to a universal dark matter-to-normal matter ratio, some exceptional galaxies display either enhanced or deficient dark matter ratios due to interactions and environmental factors, providing valuable insights into the nature of dark matter and its impact on galaxy formation.
