Could Time Travel Paradoxes Be Resolved by Multi-Worlds Theory?

If one of the problems with time travel is the paradox's it creates, if we take the multi-worlds theory into account where there are an infinite amount of universes and hence a infinite amount of possibilities why in one universe could there not be entropy be decreasing instead of increasing and instead of having reaction action rather action reaction, wouldn't this change everything dealing with the grandfather and mad scientist effect? And in turn changing everything

In our universe, they're still issues. Hypothetical time-travel wouldn't move you from one universe to another either.
 
If time travel were indeed possible, we probably could not go into the past, but only the future. I see no real indication that shows that we can go backward, unless it includes us going to an alternate universe. In which case, that's really not time travel at all.

I think Hawking feels the same, actually, but I haven't stayed updated.
 
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
