antimatter was almost completey destroyed in most versions of the big bang that involve antimatter, so it reli doesn't amount to nething in space, dark matter is sumthing we have yet to detect and the "gravity" u were talkin bout is "dark energy"
most theortical physicist think that dark matter accounts for about 2/3 of the mass of the universe while the remaining third is matter and itz variants (antimater, neutrinos {which are kinda a form of matter}) so ur right in the sense that space is not "empty" but i'm just saying itz probably not antimatter otherwise there would be antimatter-matter reactions everywhere which would destroy everything in our known universe (sounds fun doesn't it?) f.y.i.
