The lagging core model for quasars (i.e., ‘white holes’) is shown to impose a negative exponential for the number of quasars at any given time as measured from the start of the cosmological expansion. Models in which quasars and other dense cores result from collapse yield a different behavior. A recent observational count appears to fit a negative exponential.
