Absolute terms describe properties that are ideal in a Platonic sense, but that are not present in any concrete, real-world object. For example, while we say of many surfaces of physical things that they are flat, a rather reasonable interpretation of what we presumably observe makes it quite doubtful that these surfaces actually are flat.
In the case of absolute tense, the grammatical expression of time reference is made relative to the present moment.
