A theory now taking hold is that there could be an infinite number of universes each with a different law of physics.

Parallel universes do present a solution to the so-called "grandfather paradox," in that an inconsistent set of events involving time travel can be distributed among multiple quantum universes, so that none of the events happening in a given universe are inconsistent.
There is a second way in which parallel universes could be used for time travel. An interesting consequence of infinitely many universes is that every possible universe would exist, including one where the timeline was displaced from our own by any arbitrary amount. Thus, if you could travel to such a universe, you would effectively travel in time.

Travelling to a parallel universe is not the same as travelling in time,many people get the two confused. If you were to travel to a parallel universe any actions or events you cause there will have no effect upon the universe you came from as it is parallel. So you cant go to a parallel universe to change our history and is thus not an answer to time travel even though it may for all intensive purposes be as good as.

No! Time warps or parallel universes is not the answer to time travel. Great Scott!!! Everyone knows that Flux Capacitor is what makes time travel possible. And with a little plutonium of course. But if you cant get some then you will need at least 1.21 Gigawatts of power, which can be harnessed from a lightning bolt. Hope this helps.

No. Parallel universe doesn't exist. Time warp is a mathematical concept to incorporate gravity in to the field equations. No relevance to physical world

I thought that the infinite universe theory was antiquated...
I thought the new "M" / String theory held for about 11 universes.

There is no time other than the current time to travel to. Any observance of light is where the light is currently.
