Omnipresence is the fact of being in every place at the same time. It is a noun. In religion, people say God has omnipresence: God is not sitting in one room, like a person. God is in every place, always. That is the old, strict use. Though actually, the omnipresence you will read most often is stretched. A newspaper might talk about the omnipresence of cameras, of a brand, or of a song you hear in every shop. They do not mean the thing is truly in every corner of the world. They mean you meet it so often that it feels as if it is everywhere. That looser use is completely normal now, and it is not a mistake. The matching adjective is . Keep this word apart from (all-power) and (all-knowledge): this one is only about place.
無所不在
組成From omni- + presence. Omni- is from Latin omnis, “all”; presence is the English word presence.
