See the following explanation from Bhagava-gita-As-It-Is, 2.2
by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, founder of ISKCON.
"The Absolute Truth is realized in three phases of understanding by the knower of the Absolute Truth, and all of them are identical. Such phases of the Absolute Truth are expressed as Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan."
These three divine aspects can be explained by the example of the sun, which also has three different aspects, namely the sunshine, the sun's surface and the sun planet itself. One who studies the sunshine only is the preliminary student. One who understands the sun's surface is further advanced. And one who can enter into the sun planet is the highest. Ordinary students who are satisfied by simply understanding the sunshine—its universal pervasiveness and the glaring effulgence of its impersonal nature—may be compared to those who can realize only the Brahman feature of the Absolute Truth. The student who has advanced still further can know the sun disc, which is compared to knowledge of the Paramatma feature of the Absolute Truth. And the student who can enter into the heart of the sun planet is compared to those who realize the personal features of the Supreme Absolute Truth. Therefore, the bhaktas, or the transcendentalists who have realized the Bhagavan feature of the Absolute Truth, are the topmost transcendentalists, although all students who are engaged in the study of the Absolute Truth are engaged in the same subject matter. The sunshine, the sun disc and the inner affairs of the sun planet cannot be separated from one another, and yet the students of the three different phases are not in the same category.

Absolute truths:
God = The Creator is One, the Only One, the Unique. He begets none nor is He begotten. He lives forever. He created everything from nothing or initiated the process of creation from nothing then let it go into physical, biological, chemical and mental form.
Everything except Him is relative. Only He is Absolute. We live in a relative world. He is Absolute. That is how He will bring upon everything after dooms day.

Yes, there is a such thing as "absolute truth". If a person says, "There is no absolute truth", that statement cannot be true, for it contradicts itself.
Does it invalidate this site? Not at all, for we need the benefit of each other's unique perspectives to eventually arrive at "absolute truth".
There is "absolute truth", and then there are our individual Perceptions of it.
Very good question...

The first postulate of special relativity is that the speed of light in a vacuum is an absolute. I believe that qualifies as "absolute truth". I don't see how that invalidates a website.

Yes.
" No One Comes To The Father But By Me" Said Our Lord Jesus Christ.
That Is The Universal And Absolute Truth.
If Others Like Muslims, Buddhists Etc Think Or Believe They Will Attain Heaven Are Dead Wrong

This is just a questin and answer forum for a bit of fun - surely you are not under the impression that people are on here looking for Absolute Truth.
