Do you realize that you are in water right now?

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?

... At present, I think it's possible that absolute truths exist. BUT I can imagine alternate universes where the fundamental mechanics of our universe are absent, lessening the probability of any one truth's survival in transcendence. In physics, we see these mechanics breaking down the closer we get to anomalies like "black holes".
...
I also can't help but apply my arguments against absolute morality to absolute truth. I'd rather not derail this thread with morality, as I am more concerned with absolute truth at the moment, given my soon-approaching meeting with this group.
Can you please offer a good argument one way or the other? Or provide me with something that I can digest rather quickly to make me more conversant on the topic (this meeting is in the next few days)?
Yes, absolute truth exists, if by absolute, you mean an objective truth, independent of the subject. Knowledge or the limit thereof of that truth, is another matter however. Given the law of excluded middle, and such generic statement, then the statement that there is objective truth, is necessarily true. If there is no absolute truth, then you cannot make an objective statement (such as there is no absolute truth) in regards to anyone else, or anything outside of yourself.
Even if everything that we observe to be true, is just a product of our subjective mind, then that is an absolute truth. It is either true or false that nothing exists outside of ourselves. If true, then this is an absolute statement. If false, then absolute truth exists outside of ourselves.
