There are (ȓ/r^3) terms involving unit vectors, but that works out to 1/r^2 in practice. There are cubed terms in string theory and Quantum General Relativity (QGR) / Loop Quantum Gravity, but these do not apply at macroscopic distances. If you know of a url link to a non-theoretical inverse-cube effect which has actually been confirmed in lab experiments or actual observation, please post it.


Huh!?! Classic GR test of Mercury periphelon precession is mainly due to inverse cube correction to Newton
