Answer:
Nowadays most of our works are being done through different types of energy which are non-renewable. People are wasting lot of energy (hydel, dolar etc.) due to which in future we can face energy crisis.
The equation of motion of a pendulum is:

where
it its length and
is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for <em>small</em> angles (
), we can use:

Additionally, let us define:

We can now write:

The solution to this differential equation is:

where
and
are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:

This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
Well dark matter is , in a layman terms just a concept used to identify missing mass in the universe. (extremely simplified and probably wrong but look that up). It could be but then if it is then we would still be able to percive the matter in some form. All we know from instruments is that they have mass and absorb light. We would need more info before any conclusions but it is 100% a possibility. But remember that when someone says "3-d" for example they are talking about a certain space.. technically matter exists on all planes (at least all the planes we know of in our local universe.) The laws of the cosmos are not yet proven to be constant and even if they are what of outside it?
When you take high school physics ask your teacher.
