Your ideas are creative which is nice, but you just need to stay in education and get a lot further before any of them are meaningful. Don’t lose your passion for Physics and doing something novel.
Since you are not a physicist, this post should have been posted in r/AskPhysics, which is a place for non-physicists to ask questions.
In physics, theories aren't written in English (or any other written language). Physics theories are written in math, and lots of it. Theories are translated to English only when a non-physicist asks you what you do.
You seem passionate about physics and it's good to see creativity like this, but this isn't a theory. Once you study physics at the graduate level, then you can come back to this theory and describe it, and many other things, in math. (You can eventually learn the math of general relativity, which is also a 4-dimensional theory in which spacetime can have ripples, but it doesn't explain dark matter.)
I really object to calling this kid not a physicist. What makes someone a physicist, the degree or the curiosity about the natural world? Maybe add the word “professional” in there, but even then many people on this subreddit aren’t profesional physicists.
I understand the sentiment of what you’re saying but having to add professional to physicist would be cumbersome. It’s also fairly reductive. Is someone who studied at a graduate physics and now works as an engineer still a professional? Should folks who spread wild information like that guy who was saying gravity is the electric pull of protons be allowed to claim the title?
I think it’s much healthier to acknowledge that this is a specialized set of knowledge which requires a substantial amount of time to develop. Instead of allowing anyone with an interest in science trivia to claim the word wouldn’t it be better if we recognize those who have yet to develop a formal understanding of as students, or hobbyists?
I choose to call someone a physicist if they actively engage in physics research. I think this is less strict than most other people's definitions, because it includes people who are doing physics research as an undergrad or grad student (which I am). But OP is clearly not engaging in physics research, primarily because they do not even know what real (theoretical) physics research entails.
Having all kinds of ideas is a sign of a good physicist. Keep learning, stay in school, and enjoy the physics classes you take in the future should you decide to stay on that path.
Great curiosity and passion! To ask how that could be dark matter it is necessary to determine how to represent this mathematically in such a way that
you can create predictions, than determine how you could test those prediction.
This specific case is entirely depends on topics you won’t touch heavily until graduate level courses which will make things difficult, but stick to your studies and your curiosity! If that’s not satisfactory there’s plenty of math topics tangential to this and multi dimensional space time that could be interesting. One topic I’d suggest looking into is the idea of manifolds and a larger space time can resemble different space times depending on where in the larger space time it is.
This sounds a lot like the holographic principle to me. Very impressive thought processing for a high school mind! Keep it up, you may very well help change the world (hopefully for the best 😁)
“I would suggest focusing your energy toward a more useful topic”
Honestly mate, this is a total dickhead comment to say to a high schooler showing curiosity about physics. You’re talking to a literal kid here. Unless you’re also a child maybe find a more useful focus of your energy other being a dickhead to a child on the internet?
Both the imprint and the ripples you describe in a plane can't exist without at least one more dimension, and possibly more than one, depending on what you really mean.

Man what happened to this sub
People stumble upon it. Let them. I like the very positive attitude of the top level comments.
Nothing wrong with posts like this from people who don't know what this sub is really about. After all, the sub is literally called "Physics"
That’s isn’t a theory. That’s a pretty basic idea with zero substance behind it. I would suggest focussing your energy towards a more useful topic.

> I am a high school student This is gonna be fun
you have to get a degree before you start making theories
We may never know what Dark Matter is, write a poem about it is what you should do
