It's possible that SHA256 could become compromised. Bitcoin can be changed to another algorithm if necessary. There's been some threads in the past about it.
I'm kind of curious what kind of hash rate would it be useless though as the difficulty couldn't get higher?

You would never need to worry about that even if you had the whole universe's energy at your disposal.
That was very COOL! Thanks.

Will the network ever get so big that something else will have to be used?
