We say the the force is the product of masses
divided by the square of the distance between them,
and it is readily understandable why we say the
square of distance, since this is simply the falling
off according to the inverse square. But, why do

cause of that? If you know about that, I will be very grateful for your
reply. Seriously, I have NEVER gotten a real explanation of this.
