...concept of an inverse-square force. Some six years later, when Hooke wanted credit for the priority in "the rule of the decrease of Gravity, being reciprocally as the squares of the distances from the Center," Newton was rightly indignant.12 This was only an unproved guess on Hooke's part and was a... | |
