I met Peter Rowlands at a conference over 10 years ago. He had some interesting ideas involving QCD. I am not sure about his ideas here about space vs time. Space and time differ largely in their metric signature. With the dynamics of spacetime vacua the electric and magnetic field analogues are spatial, and if there are sources of the gravitational field then the gravi-electric field can also be timelike. This occurs with static gravitational fields such as a star or planet.
