Methinks you are confused. Absolute truth relates to 'knowledge'. Falsehood relates to deception. They are not on the same dimension.

Nothing is an absolute truth. Truth has the limitations proposed in the incompleteness theorem of Godel.
In the 1930s, Austrian mathematician Godel
proved a theorem which became the "Godel
theorem" in cognition theory. It states that
any formalized 'logical' system in principle
cannot be complete in itself. It means that a
statement can always be found that can be
neither disproved nor proved using the means
of that particular system. To discuss about
such a statement, one must go beyond that
very logic system; otherwise nothing but a
vicious circle will result. Psychologists say
that any experience is contingent - it's
opposite is logically possible and hence
should not be treated as contradictory.

Define the absolute falsehood? Like if I would say that I never ever took a substance, would that be absolutely false?

Absolute falsehood is time bound as against absolute truth.

Truth is a human concept, without us, there is no truth. Who would be around to define it? Ideas about truth are really just a study of humanity.

If we cannot conceptualize absolute truth, then it would follow that we cannot conceptualize Truth's opposite.....somehow this is difficult to believe...
