.....or even the "knowledge" of what -is- happening..in the present...over vast astronomical distance.
-Transmission, even internally..has fairly well defined issues. Omniscience as dryly concieved would require not only complete knowledge, complete access, but non localized "processing" or realization..instantaneously. You'd need a "presence" both as large as the universe and simultaneously contained within zero distance between any component parts - or else it may not even know what it knows......hence disqualifying itself as "omniscient".
