Why people think dark matter as a massive particle? Couldn't it be gravitational waves?


Dark matter is said to be present in the galaxies which helped galaxies to exist in the first place forming the glue to attach all the matter in the galaxies.


Given that dark matter never been seen or detected and only effect of which could be felt why do we believe it would be a particle? We have universe (almost) equally distributed in all directions with dark matter forming the skeleton for all the matter that could be seen. Can the dark matter be a illusion of gravitational waves interfering with each other forming this uniform interference pattern of galaxies/matter that is seen by us?



That would also explain the repulsive dark energy which would be the troughs in the gravitational waves indicating desructive interference in the gravitational waves.


Can we hope to simulating the above to come to the possible conclusion of source(two or many) of these gravitational waves that could give rise to skeleton of dark matter and dark energy which may be present in some higher dimentions?
