Paradox-Free Time Travel Possible With Many Parallel Universes

"“What time travel means here is stepping between those histories — that’s even freakier,” astrophysicist and dark matter expert Geraint Lewis at the University of Sydney, who was not involved in the research, told New Scientist. “At some level it doesn’t even feel like time travel anymore, because what’s the point of going back and killing Hitler if the second world war still plays out in the universe you’re from?”"

Hmm, but what's to stop you from THEN traveling back to your own timeline and changing it? The article isn't very clear about how that works.

A quantum computing future is unlikely, due to random hardware errors

I hope this is not the case:

"Last year, Michel Dyakonov, a theoretical physicist at the University of Montpellier in France, offered a slew of technical reasons why practical quantum supercomputers will never be built"

Can You Cryogenically Freeze Your Body and Come Back to Life?

The whole point of cryonics is a bet on technologies of the FUTURE, not the past or present, which is why most of this video isn't relevant. But here it is:
