Well firstly I would just like to point out that a person suddenly obtaining omniscience sounds like both attractive (because hello you suddenly know everything, although whether that means you also know how you got this knowledge is something that literary and televised versions of this scenario almost always give inadequate attention to) and monumentally disappointing (because part of what has given humanity to its current level has been our pursuit of ever greater knowledge and so, since one is now omniscient, one now has nothing else to strive for intellectually). Plus our brains can only hold or process so much information so before being granted any degree of omniscience one would first need neurological and mental faculties to store all that knowledge. Not only that but holding such a store of knowledge would require inhuman amounts of energy (amounts very possibly beyond our metabolic threshold as biological organisms). But assuming all those shortcomings could be overcome the question still remains of what would do with all that knowledge.
