Is knowledge Limited or Infinite

We know if a character is omniscient, they know all but is the knowledge itself limited or is it limitless.

(Is there infinite knowledge or is there only a certain amount of knowledge that exists in the entirety of existence/eternity itself)

and also if the knowledge is infinite. I wonder is the omniscient able to know all of it at once? (since it's infinite knowledge, wouldn't new information just keep popping up and up. or would they somehow be able to know all of it at once without any new information popping up, since anything infinite just goes on and on so new stuff would just keep popping up)
 
They are technically not omniscient since we don't assume they know about other seriws outside of versus threads, but inside their own verse they are.

Omniscience, like the other omni powers in the omni trilogy, is beyond mathematicals and infinite so yes.

so if the knowledge inside of their own verse is infinite. They would know all of it at once.

although i brought it up because if you know an infinite number of things. since infinite just keeps on going up and up, you would end up having new information popping up.

another question. is omniscience boring.

since you somehow know infinitely everything and nothing new pops up. wouldn't that be boring?
 
You'd have to ask someone who's omniscient if it's boring.

still wonder how they would handle all the infinite knowledge. (if knowledge is infinite)

Do they know all of it at once or do they all of it but not at once.

also what about the new information popping up? (since it's infinite knowledge, wouldn't new knowledge keep on popping up)

Do they know all of it at once or do they all of it but not at once.
The knowledge (or the things they experienced and learned) would be ingrained into them. As for knowing all of it (or not at once), I think that specific things come up when the situation for it pops up.

Similar to a computer that stores countless amounts of knowledge.
 
They can encompass everything and still feel emotion though. A mind doesn't need to transcend something to understand everything about it.

wait if omniscients know everything. does this mean no new knowledge/ideas will ever pop up in their mind?
 
They can think just fine. They just can't learn anything new.
