True, except for the time part. Time is derived from expanding space. And, there's also that little thing of 'low pass filtered expanding space' and 'particle locality'. Particle is only as much local as its leading and trailing edges (in terms of 2D visualization of information propagation in a low pass filtered system/space)... interacting with edges of another particle (which is why electron size differs depending on which other particle is used to measure it).

Is space works as it seems to be working, 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 in the space out there, 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?
