I read a really interesting science book, but it's lost, and it spoke of beginning of the universe, when dark and light pretty much fought.
Now, I can't remember, but is the darkness in the sky anitmatter, and is so, what is the light considered?

According to some recent research in the field of astrophysics, antimatter are particles that have the opposite charge of the particle that it corresponds to. For example, the antimatter of protons are anti-electrons (some refer to it as prolectrons) while for electrons are protrons. Theoretically, this types of particles no matter how illogical it sounds NEED to exists in nature for the sole reason of maintaining the law of conservation of mass. The way antimatter preserves this very essential law because constantly --- according to Quantum physics --- new particles pop out everywhere. Because this phenomenon defies the law of mass conservation and HAVE to exists in nature for it to work properly, antimatter need to fill in the gap. When new particles constantly pop out and disappear (the life of a particles can extends from a billionth of a second to infinity), antiparticles "bond" with them to neutralizes tha charge. For example, let's say a particle that has a positive charge appears out of nowhere in space, the antiparticle (which is a negatively type charge of the positively charge particle) "bonds" with the positively charge particles for their charge to become zero (1 + -1 = 0).
The darkness in the sky are nothing but void. It is just a space where nothing exists except particles poping out of nowhere. Also, it is a common misconception that the darkness in space are called dark matter because of what the name implies. However, dark matter in plain astrophysics definition (shortened) are matter that had been the product of the "creation" of the world and all of its after affect. For now, theses matter cannot be seen by our eyes nor any telescope out there, but it can be seen through complex geometry and calculus.
Light is considered to be a particle that has both the characteristic of a wave and particle. We call these characteristic as wave particle.
Also, as a side note, it's true that time doesn't exists in reality, but it DOES exists in its own different dimension. If you want to know why, post a question.

No, The darkness in space is just that, darkness. Space is mostly void of matter, but full of particles. If there is matter there, either it isn't emitting light or it isn't reflecting/refracting light. Just like the atmosphere is transparent at night. Antimatter on the other hand has never been directly observed. Antimatter particles have been inferred in the lab, but cannot be seen by non-antimatter eyes. Theoretically there are equal forms of Antimatter as there are of regular matter, like anti-hydrogen, anti-oxygen, and even anti-dark matter.

Light are photons or wave like particles. As far as anti matter, its only a theory that makes a formula work out. So no, darkness is not anti matter, its nothingness.. that is all. I think anti matter is not plausible for there cannot be such a thing as negative space, unless you go into another dimension.

One more thing, time doesnt exist in nature. I dont think traveling to the past is possible, only to the future. Time is a man made idea to put order into the world. We are travelling into the future as we speak.

Actually antimatter is entirely different from dark matter and it actually exists along with dark matter. (We've been able to make antimatter in labs but in small quantities) But the darkness in the sky isnt all dark matter, its just where the sun and the stars cant penetrate the consumate darkness. Light is just a buncha photons flying around space and illuminating things. But, matter is positive, antimatter is opposite of matter but is visible. Dark matter is invisible but has no opposite that we know of, and exerts massive gravity on things around it, much like black holes.

The darkness of space is NOT anti-matter. The darkness of space is nothing more mysterious than the absence of light.

No. It is being referred to as dark matter. The space in between matter. Its what fills what we thought was a void in space. Anti matter is entirely different.

Darkness is just no light. Nothing more.

yes.because every matter has anti matter.photon=anti photon
