That matches what I said.
And regardless, EM and gravity aren't the only forces in existence. There's no proof it ONLY interacts gravitationally as you said.

Not true; if it were, why would so many different teams of scientists spend a ton of money and effort on building dark matter detectors (that aren't based on gravitational detection)?
Dark means it rarely or weakly (not necessarily never, how could we prove such a negative definitely?) interacts electromagnetically.

I initially read "counteracted" instead of "contracted", so you can imagine how I felt.
