Since relativity allows objects to move faster than light (relative to each 
other and including the expansion of space/time) is it possible that some dark 
matter is ordinary matter that is moving away from us faster than the speed of 
light? This matter would not be visible to us, but it's gravitational effects 
could still impact objects that are visible to us. Thanks.
