Abstract

Dark matter is explained within our scenario of the formation of the universe from the decay of macroscopic superstrings. The observed increase of the fraction of dark matter with the hierarchical rank of astronomical objects is explained by assuming that about 90% of superstrings of each rank decay into unbound fragments. The dark matter consists essentially of asteroids and smaller objects which are not bound to stars.
