and show no preference whatever between the standard retarded fields of experience, which diverge at a finite speed from the source charges, and the corresponding advanced fields, which converge on source charges with the same speed. The advanced fields are discarded in favor of the retarded fields purely due to our [*selected*]{} experience. However, as we shall now argue, this experience may no longer be universally acceptable due to the demonstrated nonlocal nature of QM, and the need to conform with the laws of special relativity.

The process of choosing retarded versus advanced fields, which apart from our considerations of physical experience is an arbitrary choice, does not appear universal. Dirac[@Dirac] discovered that in order to describe the empirically well-established formula for radiation damping in terms of a covariant electromagnetic field, it is necessary to use both the retarded and advanced solutions of Maxwell’s equations.

We shall postulate that the advanced fields play a fundamental part in the interpretation of quantum measurements in QM. The role of advanced fields was considered in detail in two papers by Wheeler and Feynman[@Feynman; @Feynman2], in which they proposed the absorber theory of radiation. They postulated that the time-symmetric solution, corresponding to one half
