What's the intuition behind fourth power? Looks like it was mainly derived from experimental testing but there should be some physical explanation as to why we'd expect 4th power right (e.g. you can have some intuition for square/inverse-square laws based on arguments of surface area). Is it really 4th power, or is it the artifact of curve fitting?
