If w bosons can create dark matter neutrinos by decay, can they also create dark energy?
The W boson has a lifetime of $3\times 10^{−25}$ seconds. So any big bang W bosons will have long decayed. So they are not a dark energy source. Also, they produce "hot" relativistic decay ...

Does dark matter exist because as Einstein said the laws of physics should be the same inside and outside a black hole?
The simple answer is: no.
The reason is that there is no mechanism preventing matter from speeding when falling into a black hole (it cannot move faster than light according to the local light cones, ...
