Actually the Wheeler-Feynman theory is not so bizarre as it first sounds to the uninitiated. A conceptually easier way of looking at it is to realize that when a retarded electromagnetic wave front is expanding out from the emitter, the advanced wave returning from the future absorber coincides with the retarded wavefront at every instant of time between emission and absorbtion.
