Description
Summary:Action-at-a-distance electrodynamics - alternative approach to field theory - can be extended to cosmological models using conformal symmetry. An advantage of this is that the origin of arrow of time in electromagnetism can be attributed to the cosmological structure. Different cosmological models can be investigated, based on Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory, and only those models can be considered viable for our universe which have net full retarded electromagnetic interactions i.e. forward direction of time. This work evaluates quasi-steady-state model and demonstrates that it admits full retarded and not advanced solution. Thus QSSC satisfies this necessary condition for a correct cosmological model, based on action-at-a-distance formulation.
