Assuming homogeneous mixing of Earth's water, how long would it take before we could say 99.9% of Earth's "original" water had been split apart by photosynthesis and replaced with "new" water from other chemical reactions?

If we had an LHC equivalent in space, could its beam be useful than anything other than particle science? E.g., a beam weapon for spaceships, or a particle beam that slices through asteroids for mining

Using equipment that is available/achievable today, at a power level that we could put on a spaceprobe, do we have the technology to transmit/receive an interstellar information-carrying signal, or would the probe have to physically come back first?

For various proposed interstellar engines, what is the farthest distance at which we could observe effects of the engines, if at all? (e.g., could we detect effects of exhaust from a big ion thruster travelling tangentially to us? how far away?)
