ABSTRACT: In previous articles, we proposed explaining the dark matter (DM) component, without invoking exotic matter, by utilizing the second component of General Relativity (GR) responsible for the Lense-Thirring effect. While the first component is the “
g
” Newtonian field, we designate this second component as the “
k
” gravitic field. In GR, the k-field originates from mass currents; however, our previous studies indicate that such mass currents cannot account for the magnitude of the k-field required to explain the entirety of DM. Given the similarity between the k-field and the magnetic field in electromagnetism (EM), we propose explaining its unexpectedly high value through a quantum approach to gravity, drawing an analogy with magnetic fields in EM which can only be explained by spin, a concept from quantum mechanics. We apply these concepts to explain the DM of the CMB. This makes it possible to obtain the order of magnitude of these fundamental concepts. Although this work is exploratory, these values could be used to test theories of Quantum Gravity and the concepts could also allow us to define a linear approximation of Quantum gravity inspired by the linearization of GR. This explanation could also constitute a step towards justifying the existence of a uniform gravitic field
