The null point is at the event horizon. Once something goes into a "black hole," it is gone forever. Not that I fully endorse the concept.
As for particles being here or there, these commenters forget about quantum tunneling. Electrons do it all the time. No wormhole, because---from a quantum mechanical standpoint---the location of the electron is diffused through a probability distribution...that has a non-zero existence beyond a barrier.
Diffused location is an interesting concept as is probability distribution and non-zero existence. I understand the supposed concepts, it's just that they don't actually describe anything.
I once offered an idea to a group of physicists, who then misunderstood and misrepresented as 'String/Drum/Magic' theory without citing me, thankfully.
Theory often works on a level that matter doesn't.
Quantum mechanics is already passe, but don't tell popular science.
Quantum tunneling is a "thing," and mainly shows up in the physics of transistors, so I don't understand your impression that it is non-physical.
I don't know what you mean by theory working and matter not working. If the phenomenon doesn't happen (matter does not work), the theory does not work.
What, exactly, has superseded quantum physics? Or are you talking about it's fancy re-invention through chromodynamics?
