Dark Matter as Mass of Parallel Worlds

In our universe, there is invisible dark matter that is only detectable via its gravity. No electromagnetic wave interaction with such matter is possible. What if there are parallel universes folded into an interdimensional medium that leak their gravity into our own?

Only 5% of everything in our universe is ordinary matter, while 26.8% is dark matter. The rest is dark energy. The ratio of dark to ordinary matter is roughly 5:1. If we sum up all gravitationally interacting matter in percents and divide by 5%, we obtain:

From this, we see that there are 6 universes roughly similar to ours (by their mass), plus a remainder 0.36 of mass. But what is that remainder, and why six? Notice this relation:

There are possible explanations for these numbers. 2π represents a full revolution: a complete circle of 360 degrees. The interdimensional medium might be similar to a 2D disk, so that the total number of universes somehow encompassed in that disk is 6. The remainder, 0.36, could be the mass of the interdimensional medium.

It is also possible that the real mass of that medium is close to 0.28, and the measurement of the total mass of dark matter and the total mass of the visible matter is not precise. The matter can also leak between universes if there exist junctions in the 2D interdimensional medium. The disk might not be exactly 2D, but instead have a non-integer number of dimensions. This raises the speculative questions:

• Are 2D black holes and wormholes possible?
• Can any advanced math confirm these fictional and speculative ideas?

Parallel universes might have stars and planets. However, we do not observe dark matter as concentrated in points. The interdimensional medium might blur the point masses of other universes so that they are perceived as halos of galaxies.

Disclaimer: this idea is highly speculative and is extremely far from a scientific hypothesis. If anyone would like to research it or reinterpret it further: you are welcome.
