The scientific laws that govern how everything functions from subatomic particles, to beehive structure, to gravity are absolute and unchanging. Our understanding of them is flawed and changes over time, but the laws themselves can't be changed.
As far as I understand, science is a human endeavour, so I would certainly not say it is absolute, but I see what you mean.
Although I would say, my position is somewhat different, I do not see any reason to believe that even if these "laws" exist, science has at any level access to them, the "nature of reality", if you will, "laws of the universe" are metaphysical concepts that can only ever be speculative, scientific laws are not interpretations of them, they are separate constructions.
