Dark matter in particular strikes me as… “yes, obviously”.

There’s about a dozen quantum fields corresponding to particles. These form a graph, which is by no means fully connected; the fields each interact with a subset of each other, and neutrinos in particular only interact with gravity and the weak force.

If the connections are in some sense random, then it should come as no surprise whatsoever that the graph has disconnected subsets. In fact dark matter theory is effectively stating that the subset we’re a part of is one of many, which also agrees with the copernican principle.
