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.
 
This is an alert about a claim regarding the standard model, that got a burst of attention in the past two weeks. The original paper came out last year: "The electroweak η_W meson" by Gia Dvali, Archil Kobakhidze, Otari Sakhelashvili (2024) The recent follow-up and other responses are "η_W-meson from topological properties of the electroweak vacuum" by Dvali et al "Hiding in Plain Sight, the electroweak η_W" by Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Francesco Sannino, Jessica Turner "Astrophysical...
In post #549 here I answered: And then I was surprised by the comment of Tom, asking how the pairing was done. Well, I thought that I had discussed it in some thread in BSM, but after looking at it, it seems that I did only a few sparse remarks here and there. On other hand, people was not liking to interrupt the flow of the thread and I have been either contacted privately or suggested to open a new thread. So here it is. The development can be traced in some draft papers...
