Is it fair to say our perception is based on 'quanta exchange'? And is it also fair to say that the quanta we exchange comes from a present state and is perceived in the future of the initiating phenomenon that occurs as a present event? Would it be fair to say that perhaps there are beings so arranged that they do not base perception on quanta exchange that originate in a planar present to be experienced in a past framework for the receiver but a future framework for the emitter? ... If virtual particles are popping in and out of 'existence', could they actually be existing in a different temporal orientation that intersects our orientation occasionally? ... I don't think Mister 'Zero Point Field' would dislike the notion.
