Abstract

Hoyle and Narlikar1 (HN) have proposed a quantized version of the Wheeler–Feynman2,3 (WF) theory of classical electrodynamics. It is the purpose of this report to point out that the HN treatment of spontaneous emission deviates from the WF prescription. This is true even in the classical limit; however, in this limit the numerical effects of two different deviations cancel.
