Abstract

A gap in a distribution is the interval between two consecutive values. Analysis of gaps in the absorption line redshift distribution (241 values) of QSOs shows a definite trend in the distribution of gaps. The trend indicates that the absorption line distribution is not random, but does not suggest any periodicity.
