Omniscience Paradox

Omniscience Paradox, Sorta.

Omniscience is by definition is having absolute or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things. This ability is commonly attributed to gods and goddesses of multiple religions, rulers of various tribes an/or ethnic groups across our planet Earth. In fiction (well what isn't concerning this topic?) many superheroes from the likes of Dr. Manhattan, The Presence, One Above All etc.. also have all been gifted this incredible ability to fucking know everything ever.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Manhattan himself (adorable character) fed up with mankind's chasms, flees to planet Mars to be alone with himself getting baptised in the million year old light of the Andromeda Galaxy. He's fond of taking strolls across he surface our 4.5 billion years old Sun (charming) and of course when he gets bored he invents planets out of nothingness. Bored as can get, miserable but all powerful and knowing being. You don't need rocket science to tell this being (formally Jon Osterman, physicist) doesn't give a speck of care about anything in the Universe. It exists just to exist. Who thought nigh omnipotence and omniscience could be such a burden? Anyways enough about the legend himself, more on his ability to know absolutely everything. I'll start by creating a scenario in which you had this brilliant power and although I'm not the best at painting paradise with words, here goes nothing (just read it)

If you knew perfectly well, every detail about the next 24 hours of your life, you will only live to fulfill the next 24 hours meaning you must experience the next 24 hours exactly as you have perceived it.

If you tried to change any events in the next 24 hours which does not mirror the specific timeline you had perceived earlier... the paradox is that you must have known about that change of event to the timeline beforehand. If you claim not to have known about the change of event, then you're not omniscient.

An omniscient being is a puppet to its own knowledge of itself. Sounds confusing but hear me out. An eternally omniscient being ends up becoming slave to what it knows because it knows the ultimate destiny and fate of everything and everyone in existence from the very instant it gained its omniscience.

It's like a baby with perfect knowledge of its entire life and that of every other person on Earth. Nothing surprises it, it makes zero decisions for itself. It exists only to fulfill every known knowledge of its life. It becomes impotent because it knows all about its life and simply can't make any changes to what it knows. It can only experience the life it has perceived for itself from the very start, any other event outside of this already perceived timeline debunks it's omniscience. There can't be a possible future it doesn't know about and there can't be more than one future because it knows every outcome in its life history and that of every other human in existence.

If such a baby existed and knows it would stop crawling and walk for the first time at 12:00pm 1/1/2050, the baby must live to fulfill that destiny. The baby must walk only at 12:00pm 1/1/2050. If the baby decided to walk for the first time at 2:00pm 1/1/2050, it must have had knowledge of this change from the very beginning. If the baby did not have this knowledge, then the baby is not omniscient.

For a more serious scenario, if a boy knew the next 24 hours of its life to every detail (24 hours of omnipotence) and saw he was going to share his first kiss with his girlfriend at 12:00pm on his 16th birthday. If this if the future perceived, no changes can be made and the future must be fulfilled as it has been perceived. If changes are made then this debunks the boys omniscience because he did not know all (everything) from the beginning.

Are we clear? Great. Granted the ability to know it all should be appealing to the common man because... I mean lottery numbers, how can it possible go wrong? Well at least now you know not what a life awaits you, one without freewill and surprises.

That ending was boring but I'm just very lazy and you kinda get the point already so it has to end here for today, have a nice day.
