Interesting idea, though to someone who is 6, 1 year is a more significant
block of time. Children also have less independence, so they find themselves
in more boring situations.
Something by far more interesting though, was something I read on
spacer.com which said that time may not exist at all (or more precisely it is
an illusion). Which incidently would (according to the article) explain away
the arrow of time problem. It isn't quite as perposterous as you would think
at first glance, Einstein's relativity already demonstrates time isn't
absolute. (Just an abstract of which I gleened from the article is that time
doesn't exist, rather a dynamic cascade of probable configurations of the sum
of the parts of the universe is purported by the theorist)

P.S. If you read that article...keep your head cool it might just overheat ;)
