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
