A fixed epsilon on large numbers

Code treats two doubles as equal if Math.abs(a - b) < 1e-9. Why does this fail for values around 1e12?

A.1e-9 cannot be stored as a doubleB.Neighbouring doubles near 1e12 are over 1e-9 apartC.Math.abs loses the sign of large numbersD.Subtraction is not allowed on values over 1e9
