Your partner is more skeptical and insists that what you're measuring is actually the superposition of signals from two identical spinning neutron stars. For simplicity, each neutron star can emit a short burst of radio waves of fixed intensity 1. If both neutron stars emit at the same time, you'll measure a signal of intensity 2.
To prove that this can't be the case, you measure the fraction of 0s, \(f(0)\) in the signal and proudly announce that the signal can't possibly be the superposition of noisy neutron stars. What is the greatest possible value you measured for \(f(0)\)?
