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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the significance of the inverse-square law?

What does the inverse-square law tell you about the relationship between force and distance?
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.
What does the inverse square law state?
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 amplitude of a wave from a point source decreases as the inverse square of the distance fron the source?
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...
What is inverse square law and an example?
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
Who discovered inverse square law?
Charles Augustin de Coulomb is credited with the discovery of the inverse square law. It was used by Isaac Newton in his prismatic experiments.
Does sound follow the inverse square law?
Yes, sound follows the inverse square law, which states that the intensity of sound decreases in proportion to the square of the distance from the source.
What law states that the brightness of a star vaies inversely as the square of the distance from the stars?
The law is called The Inverse Square Law .

What is the inverse square law of sound?
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".
What is the relationship between distance and magnetic attrations?
The inverse square law.
Who invented the ''inverse square law''?
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 instead of become inverse square law than?
The details depend on what specific rule you are thinking about. The inverse-square law for gravity and electricity basically follows from the fact that we live in a three-dimensional space. In a four-dimensional space, for example, the law of gravity (as well as electrostatics) would be inverse-cube. With such a law, there could be no stable orbits, for planets, etc. (any small perturbation in a circular orbit would make the planet fall into the Sun, or make it go away without coming back).
Inverse operation of a square?
Square root is the inverse operation of a square.
Does gravitational pull lessen as you travel away from planets?
Yes, it obeys the inverse square law.
What does the inverse square law state?
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.
