Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory

Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory is like a game of catch, but with light particles. It says that light particles (like photons) go back and forth between two places, like when a person throws a ball to another person. In this game, the photons go back and forth between two objects, and when one of the objects absorbs the photon, the other object immediately releases a photon with the same energy. This means that one object absorbs the energy, and the other object gives off the same energy. This shows that light particles can be absorbed and released simultaneously by two objects.
