  The hypothesis that dark matter is converted into visible particles in active
galactic nuclei is investigated. If dark matter consists of stable superheavy
neutral particles and active galactic nuclei are rotating black holes, then,
due to the Penrose process, superheavy particles can decay into unstable
particles with larger mass, whose decay into quarks and leptons leads to events
in cosmic rays observed by the Auger group. Similar processes of decay of
superheavy particles of dark matter into visible matter occurred in the early
Universe. Numerical estimates of the processes in active galactic nuclei and in
the early Universe are given.
