The word for today is…

omniscient (adjective) –

1 : having infinite awareness, understanding, and insight  
2 : possessed of universal or complete knowledge

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/omniscient?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : One who is omniscient literally knows all. The word omniscient, which has been part of English since at least the beginning of the 17th century, brings together two Latin roots: the prefix omni-, meaning “all,” and the verb scire, meaning “to know.” You will recognize omni- as the prefix that tells all in such words as omnivorous (“eating all” or, more precisely, “eating both meat and vegetables”) and omnipotent (“all-powerful”). Scire likewise has a number of other knowledge-related descendants in English, including conscience, science, and prescience (meaning “foreknowledge”).
