This is a confusing subject.

Personally, I believe that there are "absolute truths" - we just can't see them. What humans believe to be true is limited to what we have been taught/ can perceive. However, if what humans are taught/ perceive happens to actually be the truth, then, well, it is.

No there are absolute truths, and that is what fields like mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry try to unveil.

There have to be absolute truths otherwise physics and mathematics cannot work. (2+2=4 one day the next 2+2=5) Besides if the only absolute truth is that there are no absolute truths the statement would be considered nonsense.

1.001
1.0001

And so on for infinity. So life can almost be represented by Infinity2
