Is universe a closed system? Since mind creates the Suddhatthaka, shouldn’t it be considered an open system?

[Lal]

These questions do not help attain Nibbana. 

From the “Acinteyya Sutta (AN 4.77)“:

“There are these four things that are not to be conjectured about, that could make one go mad (become a mental patient). Which four?

• The Buddha-range (i.e., Buddha’s knowledge).
• The subject of jhana (including kinds of supernormal powers that one can attain).
• The precise workings of the results of kamma.
• Speculation about the world 
  These are the four unthinkable things. They should not be thought about; anyone who tries to think about them will get mad or frustrated.”

The question falls under the last category. What is the benefit of discovering whether the universe is closed?

• Humans are curious about these things, but it is not a good idea to spend time on that. Buddha Dhamma is deep enough.
