First of all, bitcoin network reached 7 million TH/s and its computing power is above any other single supercomputer we have on earth.
Just to give you some prospect of how powerful bitcoin network is, here is article - The Bitcoin Network is 11000x Faster than the Top 500 Supercomputers Combined:

Just note, the article is from 2015, since that time we had a tremendous rise of hashing power.

Of all the responses so far, this I found most explanatory and its also boost my confidence in bitcoin in which I am sure if the current cappacity of the available computer can hack bitcoin, I am sure they would have attempted that. For the future, in which we all dont know yet, I am also optimistic that as at that time, its either there is an upgrade to the security apparatus of bitcoin or a mass adoption that any attempt to shut it down might disrupt the world order.
