Yes, very much in deed, a sufficient mass of extremely cold molecular
H2 is out there, and in sufficient mass to make a very big difference
in our calculating distance, as well as on behalf of interpreting
those receding redshift and radial blueshift velocity calculations.

How many molecular H2s exist per average km3 is the next logical
question, and secondly is how much molecular H2 is represented by a
black hole or vast darkness such as a certain dark molecular cloud
that could be primarily that of molecular hydrogen?

And I thought I figured it out.

Brad, Your coupling of dark matter with Bok globules proceeds my own recognition by what, 7-1/2 years?

Here're my thoughts:

Bok globules as dark-matter reservoirs of luminous matter: Bok Globules = Dark Matter

Scientists assume Bok globules are 'proto-protostars' in the process of formation which is hard to support since Bok globules are the coldest objects in the natural Universe, so maybe we're looking at them through the wrong end of the telescope—

What if Bok globules condensed a majority of the matter in the early Universe following the Dark Ages by phase-change nucleations in galaxy-sized atomic-hydrogen aggregates, endothermically clamping the temperature as atomic hydrogen reverted to plasma, promoting gas densification into globules.

As the coldest objects in the sky, Bok globules are invisible and thus dark except when highlighted inside glowing nebulae or when they sprout cometary tails evaporated by nearby OB supergiants.

And the largest 100 - 300 solar-mass globules spontaneously collapsed into Population III stars while smaller 2 - 50 stellar-mass globules survived to the current era where they're essentially invisible except where contrasted against bright nebulae or outgassing as cometary globules.

Then cometary globules are evaporating Bok globules exposed to super-intense OB supergiant radiation, and OB supergiants condense from shock-wave compression of globules by nearby OB-supergiant supernovae in an endless cycle.

And cold molecular gas streaming from cometary globules form (giant) molecular clouds from which T-Tauri stars condense.

Finally, since gas pressure likely supported the primordial galactic-sized gas accumulations, many of the Population III star black holes would have had very little angular momentum, causing them to fall to the center to rapidly form supermassive black holes.

This has all the hallmarks of a good theory which ties together many phenomena, including:
- Dark matter
- (Cometary) Bok globules,
- OB supergiants,
- Population III stars,
- the reionization of the Universe following the 'Dark Ages',
- Spiral-galaxy shape
- (Giant) molecular clouds
- T-Tauri stars and their widely-varying metallicities,
- Supermassive black holes and quasars

By comparison, the competing theories are ad hoc, explaining nothing more than the (apparent) excess dark-matter mass.
