Scientists estimate that Earth contains 7.5 sextillion sand grains. That is 75 followed by 17 zeros.
Lol. I wrote a great analogy to visualizing this earlier and used the same piece of information:
Let me put it in this perspective. There are estimated to be 7.5 quintillion grains of sand in the Earth; that's 7.5 x 10^18. Now ignore the shape of our solar system, and make the hypothesis that there are a trillion clones of Earth, spinning around the Sun. That'd make the total grains of sand in our Solar system about 7.5 x 10^30. Stupidly large number there. Imagine if I told you to guess my chosen grain of sand, across this uncountable set of grains, and that I picked one at random, maybe at some corner of an ocean from Earth #623,546,123,002, or at a replica of Egypt from Earth #881,239,303,566.

OP, read it. You'll get your answer. The difference between "being impossible" and being "being improbable" approaches zero.

Super computers are no match for 128 bit encryption.
Not even the total computational power provided for the security of the Bitcoin network can break anything beyond 90 bits.
