When light comes into contact with dark matter, it is both a wave and a particle,
The wave is bent around the dark matter (quark gluon plasma in folded space/time),
Which we see as gravitational lensing, but the particle will go through the dark matter, but will also leave our frame of reference,
follow the particle through dark matter and its speed would not change, staying at c, but only relative to the the space it travels through, it would eventually pass through dark matter long after the wave as gone around.
Once it leaves dark matter it once again becomes a wave and a particle and continues on it way, Until it reaches the next clumb of dark matter.
The particle is never scattered, due the fact D/M Is folded space/time, that from our space/time perspective keeps the photon particle in a focused tight narrow beam.
where as the wave is is distorted by gravitational lensing.
And if 80-90% of universe is dark/matter there is alot of bending going on, so we should only see distorted images, which we do not, that is because of the particle that travels through D/M (quark gluon PLASMA) is not distorted or scattered.
