No. Spacetime is a metric space, and certain things have to be already in place before there can even be a spacetime. There probably isn't anything at all about physical reality that can have the title, "absolute". One of the outstanding questions in physics is how did physical reality "bootstrap" itself into existence?
Take a cue from topology about metric spaces, see wiki. You have to plow through a lot of topology before you even get to metric spaces.

spacetime is not absolute. The only abosulte in the Universe is the speed of light. Your experience of spacetime depends on your frame of reference. Check out the Theory of Relativity

Newton thought so, Einstein proved him wrong. The only absolutes in the universe are the speed of light, and a few other constants that probably mean nothing to you, such as the strength of the strong force.

If you travel at the speed of light and you turn your headlights on, will they work?
