I was trying to find out what is the opposite of "absolute" and I could not find anything unless
I put a qualifier on absolute; like absolute zero or some other value, but absolute as a word
standing alone has no opposite.

Yet "relative" does have an opposite or at least it means in-relationship to something or other.
However we would not know absolute unless we knew relative, or vice versa, although they are
not opposites, they are not dueling concepts.

Absolute is all encompassing, and includes relative, but relative is limited. From The Kybalion;
"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike
are the same." But in my opinion "absolute is singular and stands alone.
