Closed constant-equation-of-state conformal lifetime ($\Delta \tau =2\pi /(1+3w)$)

For positive curvature and zero cosmological constant, the single-fluid Friedmann solution has a bang-to-crunch conformal time interval $2\pi /(1+3w)$ for $w\ge 0$. A radial null geodesic in FLRW spacetime travels that same great-circle comoving distance. Relative to a three-sphere circumference $2\pi$, it is $1/(1+3w)$ circuits: one for dust and one half for radiation, with the final point reached only in the singular-endpoint limit.
