If she tries to claim vacuum ENERGY belongs in the spirit realm, then at least she is mindful of the immaterial nature of both. But matter in the spirit realm?!!
Except dark matter's mass can be measured and it's distribution can be mapped, unlike luminiferous ether whose existence was only conjectured without any support from unambiguous measurement.

Although I could be wrong
Dark matter reminds me of the old, superseded concept of 'ester' or 'ether' that was said to be the medium that light travels through.
