[Medieval Latin omniscins, omniscient-: Latin omni-, omni- + Latin scins (, present participle of scre, to know); see skei- in Indo-European Roots.] om·niscience or om·niscien·cy n. .................. -I don't see any temporal limitations in this definition. You can SAY your definition of one having "total knowledge" does not include these things- but then you are actually subtracting away from omniscience. The word, as generally used, seems to include the past present and future.
