inverse-square

Since light is an inverse-square law, this means star B is 10 times farther away.

SciFi, Fantasy & Horror Collectibles - Part 59 2009

First, spaceship ballistics is a very simple subject, being hardly more than the application of the second law of motion to an inverse-square field.

But here inside their sacred mountain the gods of Elysia broke the laws of nature as they pleased-why not the inverse-square law?

The Beast That Resembles A Poem(A Handy Resource for Architects,Engineers, and Students) 2010

He solved Kepler's Problem on cutting a semicircle, independently proved Kepler's third law, and formulated the inverse-square law of gravitational attraction.

At small distances, the inverse-square behavior of the gravitational force law can certainly break down; but we can tell you exactly the scale above which it will not break down (about a tenth of a millimeter).

Telekinesis and Quantum Field Theory Sean 2008

Of course, the inverse-square law of gravitational attraction explain why the planets move in the way they do, but there is no explanation of how this gravitational force acts on bodies (how it is transported), nor is there any account of its causal properties.

How do most of us know that gravity follows an inverse-square law?

The effect depends on distance: there appears to be an inverse-square law, with more-distant dandelions less likely to inherit the shortness of their neighbors.

This clearly explains the inverse-square phenomenon, and is likely an evolved form of cooperative behavior in that the survival of a single dandelion is likely increased with its proximity to other dandelions, where the enormity and apparent futility of the task reduces the risks from this form of “predation”.
