| Aug 7, 2019 at 13:18 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | I think your question (with title edited) is of interest. However, your text makes some unwarrented assumptions. It's not like anyone "forced" the E-M fields to follow inverse-square laws ; so it would make more sense to ask whether researchers used the laws of gravity as an initial theory vs. trying experiments and doing the equivalent of polynomial curve-fitting. | |
