如果中国比美国早12个时区，为什么他们不提前警告我们枪击事件呢？ [美国媒体]

If China is 12 time zones ahead of the United States, why don't they warn us about things like mass shootings?

Because China censors all that information.


因为中国封锁了所有信息。

因为他们不爱我们~

I am a forensic chronologist, or "time scientist". The reason China doesn't warn the US of known future events (NFEs) can easily be explained through the if-and-then paradox.
If China were to warn the United States about a mass shooting NFE, and the US took steps to prevent the event from occurring, then the event would never have happened. Thus China could not have warned the US about said shooting, and said shooting would have occurred/will occur.
Got it?

你们的愚蠢令我震惊。
我是法医年代学家，小伙伴们都叫我“时间科学家”。中国为何不警告美国未来事件？太简单了——外祖母悖论：
如果中国打算警告美国即将发生大规模枪杀——>美国就会出手阻止——>那这件事儿就不会发生——>于是中国就没法儿警告美国——>然后枪击案还是会发生……
你们这群凡人听懂了吗？

Too complex. We'll go with "China hates freedom"

一脸懵逼，不如换个说法——“中国讨厌自由”。

[–]TheFreshOneThe Figure-Outer of Things 
Looks like China needs freedom like we happily provided to the stans.

不如换个口味儿？我们大米利坚的自由是最香甜的。
来人！上次我们发给斯坦国的那一批自由还有存货没了？把剩下的给中国送过去！

This isn't quite right. The US has arranged it so that China warns us of any upcoming disasters. They'll then prevent the events, but broadcast that they still happened so that China can continue to warn us. There are no more school shootings, but nobody can say as much without the entire system crumbling. It is a necessary evil.

你这个什么悖论都是拿来忽悠外人的，我给你透露点内部消息——中国确实警告美国了，美国也确实阻止了，但是我们装作发生了的样子，所以中国就不知道其实没发生，他们就能继续警告我们了。所以实际上没有什么校园枪击案，不过谁都不能说出去，否则楚门的世界就完蛋了！

Well you've ruined it now haven't you?!

你似乎已经泄露了宇宙最高机密。

Dammit magoon, I'm a time doctor. Not an autocorrectotron.

中国：你们这群该死的麻瓜，谁告诉你们时间医生是万能的？

Got it.
Actually, China warns us. This is why there are less mass shooting than there would be elsewhere.

你的意思是说，其实中国警告我们了，所以现在的枪击案比本来应该发生的已经少多了？

[–]skyanvil 
They do. Just that by the time you hear it, you are 12 hours behind them again.
:)

他们警告我们了，但是等到消息传到我们这儿的时候，我们已经又落后他们12小时了。

请问，能顺便告诉我一下明天彩票号码吗？

It was discussed in Nixon's first visit with the country post revolution. China said it would be inconvenient for them to send the information. I don't see why this still applies because we have stuff like carrier pigeons to send letters over long distances in much shorter periods of time

其实尼克松首次访华时就和中国讨论过这个问题。中国当时说不太方便发送这种信息。我不明白的是，这么多年过去了，还不方便吗？毕竟现在我们已经有高速长距离通讯工具——信鸽了。

[–]The_Soul_King_Pirate
Yeah but think about how many time zones that pigeon would have to cross. By the time it got to America, it would have been flung 1000s of years into the future.

是啊，信鸽不错，但是你考虑过信鸽要穿越多少时区吗？等它飞到美国时，估计已经过了1000年了！

Actually they do, but the warning needs exactly 12 hours to travel to the US.
Here's why: If you are sending the warning with the rotation of the earth, the distance the warning has to travel increases, since the earth rotates in the same direction as the warning. Hence travel time increases to 12 hours. If you send it against the rotation of the earth, the warning travels considerably slower, since it's going, well, against the rotation of the earth. You can't send the warning through the Poles either, since they just steal the warning like they steal everything, those thieving bastards.
Also, you have to consider the following: from what source do the Chinese learn about mass shootings in the US? Why, from US media of course! So you have to consider that the information about the shootings must first travel to China, and then the warning can be sent to the US. The whole round trip takes 24 hours. This means that China's future actually is in the US' past and vice versa, which confuses everybody except the Poles, because they don't care about anything, those nihilistic bastards.
As you can clearly see, it's not as simple as it seems at first. And you know who's to blame for that. Hint: it's the Poles.

他们确实这么做了，但是警告信息要花12小时才能传到美国。
理由如下：如果你顺着地球旋转方向发送信息，那信息传播距离就会增加，因为这相当于你追上前面的车，所以传递时间增加到了12小时。如果你逆着地球旋转方向发送信息，那么信息传送速度就会变慢——因为你在倒着走嘛，所以花的时间还是会增加到12小时。
你也不能沿南北两极发送信息，因为两极(又有波兰人的意思)，会把信息偷走，就像他们偷走其他东西一样，这些偷东西的混蛋！
另外，你还得考虑这个问题：中国是怎么知道美国发生枪击案的呢？还用说嘛，肯定是美国媒体啊！所以枪击案消息必须先从美国传到中国，然后他们才能再发送警告信息，所以一来一回就要花24小时，这就意味着，中国的明天其实是美国的昨天，反过来也也一样，中国的昨天也是美国的明天，最后的结果就是大家全TM被搞糊涂了！唯一的例外是极低(波兰人)，因为他们什么鸟事都不关心，这些虚无主义混蛋！
所以你看到了，事情不是像你想得这么简单，而且你知道应该怪罪谁了吗？提示：波兰人。

In China, the public has a fear of helping people because of previous legal cases in which the helping party has been sued.

在中国，公众害怕帮助别人，因为之前有几起帮助别人被起诉的案例。

Sometimes China tries to warn us about something, but they do it in Chinese, and by the time we manage to get it translated, it's too late.

有时候中国想要给我们点警告，但是他们用的是中文，等我们翻译过来时已经太晚了。

Not exactly scientific but I did try this once before. I was deployed and ended up being 8 hours ahead of my wife on New Years. As soon as I saw the four horsemen start trying to ride in and end the world I quickly called to warn her. Bitch didn't believe me. :(

我曾经试过一次，我部署了时光机，比我老婆提前8小时到达了新年夜。然后我看到天启四骑士从天而降，打算毁灭整个地球，于是我赶紧打电话警告我老婆——臭婆娘不相信老子。

Pretty sure there's a law that women aren't allowed to believe their husbands.

我非常肯定，有一部法律规定了不允许女人相信她们的丈夫。

They would like to but the US keeps buying all their IPhones, so they have no way of contacting the US.

因为美国人把他们的iPhone都买光了，他们没法联系上我们。

Because information can't travel faster than light. If they learn about the shooting at noon in China, and send it to us, we won't hear about it until noon here.

因为信息不能比光速更快，如果他们在中国时间的中午获知枪击消息，然后发给我们，我们也只能在美国时间的中午收到。
