Absolutism

Absolutism Does Not Exist

That can't be true. If absolutism does not exist, then the fact that there is not absolutism is not absolutely accurate, so absolutism must exist, by the very statement that states that it does not.

I think, though this is due to change at any given moment, that absolutism is something that human beings strive for as a way of simplifying life and its many problems, but that the concept of absolutism is otherwise foreign to the natural world. Throughout history, science has been the search of finite, unquestionable, correct solutions to questions we have about the world we live in. Mathematics, a human created scientific concept, is one area in which absolutism runs free. Math is also called the true science, because of the constant accuracy it turns out. The other sciences' most stark difference is their relation to the real world. Though math can be used to find solutions from the real world, that usually falls into some other field of science, such as physics or chemistry, in which it is virtually impossible to account for all variables, since nothing in the real world ever seems to happen as perfectly as it does in theory.
