  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.
