摘要：
Dark matter in the universe seems to be one of the most important puzzles science has to face in this moment. In this essay, we point out that dark matter could be a spin-0 fundamental interaction of Nature rather than a simple. particle. From this hypothesis follows that dark matter behaves just as standard cold dark matter at cosmological level while still in good agreement with observations at galactic scales. This new interaction could be one of the scalar fields predicted by higher-dimensional theories.
