Answer 1

Dark matter played a crucial role in the development of the universe after the Big Bang by providing the necessary gravitational scaffolding for structures such as galaxies and galaxy clusters to form; without dark matter, the formation of these structures would have been significantly delayed or potentially impossible, leading to a universe that is far less organized and complex.
