I have been trying to find out too, all I know is that Prof. John Searl either discovered or re-discovered it. I cannot find any reference to the original source of discovery, there are many conspiracy theories that are mixed up in this area because of Prof. Searl's work. It is terrible that such a physical-law is not clearly attributed to any one person or even people.. There simply is not the interest as I think too few people have the full understanding of the law to actually motivate them to trace any potential origin.

The inverse-square law applies to gravitational and electrical forces. An inverse-square law tells you:That the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.That means that if the distance is increased by a factor "n", the force is decreased by a factor "n2".For example, if you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force will decrease by a factor of 102 = 10 x 10 = 100.
any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.
yes... its true...the inverse square law is universal. it can be applied to gravity between two objects, the electric force between 2 charges etc...
inverse square law is the law that states the intensity of the light, sound etc is directly proportional to 1/ distance squared meaning the further you are from the source the less intense the light etc will be. e.g. an object 1m away from a light source 1/1^2=1 , 2m 1/2^2= 1/4 and so forth
Charles Augustin de Coulomb is credited with the discovery of the inverse square law. It was used by Isaac Newton in his prismatic experiments.
The law is called The Inverse Square Law .

The inverse square law 1/r2 shows the distance performance for sound intensity, an energy quantity.But your ear drums are moved by the sound pressure vibrations using the inverse distance law 1/r for field quantities.Scroll down to related links and look at "Sound pressure pand the inverse distance law 1/r".Scroll down to related links and look at "Decreasing of Sound Intensity from a Point Source - Inverse square law of sound".

Isaac Newton claimed responsibility for the invention of inverse-square law however Robert Hooke was bitter about this and claimed to have composed a letter in 1679 to Isaac Newton about this principle.

If the law of gravity were not an inverse square law, the force of gravity between two objects would not decrease with the square of the distance between them. This means that the strength of gravity would not follow the same predictable pattern, leading to different gravitational interactions and behaviors in the universe.
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.
Yes, it obeys the inverse square law.
any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.
The inverse square law for electric force states that the force between two point charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it is given by F = k(Q1*Q2)/(r^2), where F is the force, Q1 and Q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, r is the distance between them, and k is the Coulomb constant.
