751.686 - 774.025 Lisa Randall

In fact, gravity is an extremely weak force compared to other forces we know about in nature. But there's a lot of dark matter out there. It carries a lot of energy, five times the amount of energy as the matter we know that's in atoms, et cetera. So you can ask, how should we think about it? Well, it's just another form of matter that doesn't interact with light, or at least as far as we know.
