I've got a million bucks for you if you can prove that...

Unless you are accepting solutions that require more energy than we have at our theoretical disposal and in timeframes that exceed the life of our species by a couple of billion years.

And in the case of a one time pad, generated from a truly random source (IE, a QRNG/measurements of radioactive decay, not a classic RNG), time will not help you. It can't, there simply isn't enough information in the cyphertext to learn anything about the key.
