For $p, q \in R$, consider the real valued function $f ( x )=( x - p )^{2}- q , x \in R$ and $q >0$. Let $a _{1}, a _{2}, a _{3}$ and $a _{4}$ be in an arithmetic progression with mean $P$ and positive common difference. If $\left| f \left( a _{ i }\right)\right|=500$ for all $i=1,2,3,4$, then the absolute difference between the roots of $f ( x )=0$ is.
