Sure, although I do think scientists are asking better questions than that. In the public perception, it seems like we're trying to find information about something that's basically matter, but we can't detect or measure it. In reality, 'dark matter' is just a placeholder for "Well, it looks like there should be a lot of matter here, but we measure a lot less than expected. There must be some kind of phenomenon we don't understand, one of the effects of which is that it makes galaxies that seem not to have enough matter to sustain their structure"
