We can detect its gravitational influence, as it interacts via gravity. The issue being that gravity is a weak force, and so there's a lot of room for speculation.

But there is a lot of evidence backing up dark matter existing. But it's not definitive yet.

I get that but it still sounds woo-woo since we can't directly detect it. I'm not naysaying since I realize it's the best we have and I'm not smart enough to come up with anything better.
