For
Ω0>1, introduce
conformal time by
dt/dτ=a. Since
a′=aa˙, the constraint becomes
On the initial expanding branch, separate variables and choose
a=t=τ=0 at the
Big Bang. With
α=H0Ω0−1,
a(τ)=βsin(ατ),t(τ)=αβ1−cos(ατ). The
second formula follows by integrating
dt/dτ=a. The
model reaches maximum
size at
ατ=π/2 and recollapses at
ατ=π.
Today
a=1 and
H0>0 selects the expanding branch, so
τ0=α−1arcsinβ,cos(ατ0)=1−β=Ω0−1/2. Substitution yields the requested age
t0=H0−1Ω0−1Ω0−1=H0(Ω0+1)1. In particular the
numerator is
Ω0−1, not
Ω0−1; the
PDF displays the former. The flat-
model limit is
1/(2H0).
