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.
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
