A team of scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory including those from India created the heaviest anti-matter (anti-helium nucleus). What is/are the implication/implications of the creation of anti-matter?<br/>1. It will make mineral prospecting and oil exploration easier and cheaper.<br/>2. It will help probe the possibility of the existence of stars and galaxies made of anti-matter.<br/>3. It will help understand the evolution of the universe.<br/><br/>Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

1. Mineral prospecting and oil exploration easier and cheaper — Anti-matter creation at Brookhaven was a high-energy physics achievement, not a geophysical exploration tool. This implication is incorrect.

2. Probe the possibility of stars and galaxies made of anti-matter — Detection/understanding of anti-helium nuclei can help scientists investigate whether anti-stars or anti-galaxies may exist. This is correct.

3. Help understand the evolution of the universe — Anti-matter research is important for studying matter–antimatter asymmetry and early-universe evolution. This is correct.

Hence, 2 and 3 only are correct.
