This is the miracle that Proof of Work realizes: Even if all miners were to be shut down today, someone could come tomorrow and continue mining at the last place on the blockchain. But it is impossible due to the many different providers, legal areas and power supplies of the Monero miners. Example: Even if the power goes out, there are solar miners.
