WHAT DOES UBIQUITOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ubiquitous

Omnipresence

Omnipresence or ubiquity is the property of being present everywhere. This characteristic is most commonly used in a religious context, as most doctrines bestow the trait of omnipresence onto a superior, usually a deity commonly referred to as God by monotheists, as with God in Christianity. This idea differs from Pantheism, which identifies the universe and divinity; in divine omnipresence, the divine and universe are separate, but the divine is present everywhere; see panentheism for a third variant.

Definition of ubiquitous in the English dictionary

The definition of ubiquitous in the dictionary is having or seeming to have the ability to be everywhere at once; omnipresent.
