The "many worlds" theory doesn't get rid of the grandfather paradox because it has nothing to do with time travel; it's actually "world" travel as you are really just travel to one of the "many worlds". Aristotle had it right: time = change; you can have no change (no time); less change (slow time); or more change (fast time); but you can't have "negative change" (backwards time.)
