There is no such value since rational and Irrational Numbers are infinitely dense.

If there was a positive number, x, that laid claim to having the smallest possible absolute value, it would immediately be challenged by x/2.

Then that, in turn, would be challenged by x/4, and then x/8 and so on, and on, and on.

Why is it not possible for the absolute value of a number to be negative?

The absolute value depends on it's "distance" from zero. So if it's to the right (positive) by 5 units, or to the left (negative) by five units, then it's absolute value is 5
