Scientists conclude that physicalism is true (i.e. reality consists only of physical entities). From this, lit people conclude that relativism is true. The argument is pretty straightforward: if only physical entities exist then there cannot be any truth that is true in all times and places, since such an overarching truth is universal and not particular, whereas all physical entities are only particular. Hence the irony of modern scientists arguing for absolute truth with those who merely follow the scientists' assumptions to the logical end.
