Yes, it is possible for the relative permittivity (dielectric constant) to be less than 1, but this typically occurs in certain materials under specific conditions, such as in the case of metamaterials. In a vacuum, relative permittivity is defined as 1, and most conventional materials have a value greater than 1. However, certain engineered materials can exhibit negative permittivity, leading to effective values less than 1 in specific frequency ranges.
The absolute permittivity of a medium is its relative permittivity multiplied by the vacuum permittivity. The absolute permittivity is a proportionality constant between the electric and displacement field with units of Farad/meters (in SI units). This number is usually very small (e.g. for air: 0.000 000 000 008 85 F/m). The relative permittivity is a unit-less number scaled upward to present nicer numbers (e.g. for air: 1.0005). To get the absolute permittivity from the relative permittivity one should multiply with the vacuum permittivity: 8.85418781... E-12 F/m.
No, it is not possible to predict the outcome of chance events with certainty, as they are inherently random and unpredictable.
Relative permittivity, also known as dielectric constant, is a measure of a medium's ability to store electrical energy in an electric field. It is the ratio of the permittivity of the medium to the permittivity of a vacuum. It influences the capacitance of a capacitor and the speed of electromagnetic waves in the medium.
NO.

The relative permittivity of wood typically ranges from 2-3. This means that wood is a relatively poor electrical insulator compared to materials with higher relative permittivity values.

'Dielectric constant' is an archaic term for relative permittivity. They are one and the same.
The relative permittivity of a pure conductor is infinite. This is because in a pure conductor, electrons are free to move, resulting in a strong response to electric fields, leading to an infinite value for its relative permittivity.
