Our eyes are ordinary sense organs; what can be observed with our eyes are all relative. When we look at things with our naked eyes, static objects are real for us. The movement under the microscope, though, can be called the absolute truth, but absolute truth from the Buddhist point of view means a lot more than that. The microscopic view is only a lower level meaning of the absolute truth.
