True, except for the time part. Time is derived from expanding space, and there're also those little things called 'low-pass filtered expanding space' and 'particle locality.' A particle is only as local as its leading and trailing edges (in terms of 2-D visualization of information propagation in a low-pass filtered system/space) are in terms of how such a particle is interacting with the 'edges' of another particle (which is why electron size differs depending on which other particle is used to measure it.)

If space works as it seems to be working, then every particle in existence has an information  'tail' that extends outwards by as much as 99.9% of the particle's true size. There's a whole sea of invisible information out there, in space, visibly interacting only when combined edges of interacting particles reach the threshold value needed for visible interaction. The rest of the time, that information appears as 'virtual particles.' In other words, who needs 'virtual photons' when electrons themselves can act on much, much larger scales than their apparent size?
