Why this word is great
TELEGNOSIS — [Noun] Knowledge of distant events obtained without the use of the ordinary senses. From Ancient Greek τηλε (tēle, "at a distance") + γνῶσις (gnôsis, "knowledge"). Unlike clairvoyance, which offers a visionary glimpse, or telepathy, which implies a silent dialogue, telegnosis is the stark, unsorted fact of knowing, devoid of imagery or sender. It is the sudden, sourceless chill that tells you a loved one has died miles away; the taste of iron in the mouth at the precise moment a bridge collapses unseen; the absolute conviction, upon waking, that a letter you await has just been dropped through a distant slot. A cold datum deposited in the mind, it is haunting proof that knowledge can be a burden divorced from understanding.
