But thanks to math, we jumped from safes that can withstand hours of attack to math that can withstand every computer on this planet for the next 1e7 years before being cracked.
The problem with what others have posited as "money based encryption" easily scales up with AWS, Azure, GCE, and private clouds. Even individuals can buy a large cloud for 1h for cheap and crack with rainbow tables or such.
But for a real safe, I can go get a thermic lance. It nicely cuts inside most safes. Or I can use a bunch of liquid nitrogen and freeze-shatter it.
