In 1926, Born suggested that the square of the wave at any point is proportional to the probability of finding the particle at that point. Born was led to this interpretation by relationship between the intensity of light and the square of its amplitude.
Since we can renormalise the function, why does it have to be psi^2 to get the probability? Why not have psi^4, 6, 100, 10000 ... ?
