Even if a probe were sent into a black hole no data from the probe could escape the event horizon.

Perhaps the comment was phrased incorrectly (or you are splitting hairs) but the fact remains that the general relativity doesn't preclude wormholes. For that matter general relativity depends on a great deal of matter that can't be detected in any amounts by any instruments. Doesn't it strike you as odd that that the universe is supposedly made up of 26.8% dark matter and 68.3% dark energy but we can't detect either?

Regardless, your blanket dismissal is no more logical then any number of wild sci-fi fantasies.

True enough, but at least it would give scientists
a little more to chew on.
