Zeno is possibly the only significant character in the series who is not a fighter of any kind and has no interest or experience in martial training. He was unable to follow Dypso's faster-than-light attacks and sees the tournament as something to amuse him through its drama rather than a test of warrior skill. It is ironic that the most powerful warriors and gods and angels with the highest feats of martial training are utterly powerless against the short round Omni-King who can simply blink them out of existence.
With such a staggeringly powerful character, who terrifies everyone who meets him, even the gods of destruction, it is difficult to think he has any limits to his power. And yet, Zeno has shown that he is not exactly omnipotent. He was not fast enough to keep track of Dypso's attacks during the tournament.
After destroying Zamasu and the entire multiverse in the future, Zeno was unable to create a new reality and simply existed in limbo until Goku brought him back to the present. Now whether these limitations are because Zeno has finite abilities or because he simply does not care enough to do more, for all practical purposes, they show the limits of Zeno's power.
Zeno being the king above all else would logically mean that he has been the God-king forever. And yet, it seems that is not the case. The Grand Minister once stated that the Tournament of Power began 8. That means there was a point, millions of years ago when Zeno was not the Onmi-king. Does that mean Zeno's position is a temporary one? Were there other Omni-kings before him? There are a lot of characters in Dragonball who have wreaked great destruction.
Frieza conquered planets and killed millions. Beerus decimated civilizations that displeased him. And yet, neither of those feats come close to Zeno's, who erased literally all of reality and everything in it in the future to stop Zamasu. W hile in Goku's time there are twelve universes within the Dragon Ball multiverse, there used to be eighteen. Zeno erased six universes from existence before briefly settling on twelve, later considering eliminating even more universes before giving them a chance to win their survival in the Tournament of Power.
While Zeno seems cruel and capricious, he isn't a being of evil by any stretch of the word. Once Universe 7 won the Tournament of Power , the wish that was granted through the Super Dragon Ball was for every universe eliminated within the tournament to be brought back, which was Zeno's plan from the beginning. Dragon Ball has always been concerned with characters growing more powerful, which means that the nature of its ultimate being has a lot to say about the franchise as a whole. Zeno is power without skill, filled with childlike wonder rather than vicious scheming.
At once kind and irresponsible, unpredictable but true to his word, he's the perfect god for the Dragon Ball multiverse fans know and love. Having spent time with heroes like Goku and villains like Frieza , it's no surprise to learn that Dragon Ball 's most powerful being, Grand Zeno , is basically a celestial child who likes smashing his toys together.

For anyone interested in the physical world, this should be enough to resolve Zeno's paradox. It works whether space and time is continuous or discrete; it works at both a classical level and a quantum level; it doesn't rely on philosophical or logical assumptions. For objects that move in this Universe, physics solves Zeno's paradox. But at the quantum level, an entirely new paradox emerges, known as the quantum Zeno effect.
Certain physical phenomena only happen due to the quantum properties of matter and energy, like quantum tunneling through a barrier or radioactive decays. In order to go from one quantum state to another, your quantum system needs to act like a wave: its wavefunction spreads out over time. Eventually, there will be a non-zero probability of winding up in a lower-energy quantum state.
This is how you can tunnel into a more energetically favorable state even when there isn't a classical path that allows you to get there. Although the step of tunneling itself may be instantaneous, the traveling particles are still limited by the speed of light.
Most physicists refer to this type of interaction as "collapsing the wavefunction," as you're basically causing whatever quantum system you're measuring to act "particle-like" instead of "wave-like. If you make this measurement too close in time to your prior measurement, there will only be an infinitesimal or even a zero probability of tunneling into your desired state.
If you keep your quantum system interacting with the environment, you can suppress the inherently quantum effects, leaving you with only the classical outcomes as possibilities. When a quantum particle approaches a barrier, it will most frequently interact with it. But there is If you were to measure the position of the particle continuously, however, including upon its interaction with the barrier, this tunneling effect could be entirely suppressed via the quantum Zeno effect.
The takeaway is this: motion from one place to another is possible, and it's because of the explicit physical relationship between distance, velocity and time that we can learn exactly how motion occurs in a quantitative sense. Yes, in order to cover the full distance from one location to another, you have to first cover half that distance, then half the remaining distance, then half of what's left, etc.
But the time it takes to do so also halves, and so motion over a finite distance always takes only a finite amount of time for any object in motion. Although this is still an interesting exercise for mathematicians and philosophers, not only is the solution reliant on physics, but physicists have even extended it to quantum phenomena, where a new quantum Zeno effect — not a paradox, but a suppression of purely quantum effects — emerges. As in all scientific fields, the Universe itself is the final arbiter of how reality behaves.
