Asymtope holes as a reason for electron teleportation

First I must admit that I have no idea what 99% of you are saying, I am not ashamed to admit that I am not up to your status on the physics of nature or laws of the universe. Now that that is out of the way you may realize that this theory is not sound and is made out of ignorance, if this is the case please tell me so, but be nice. I don't know what certain things are called and might end up looking like a fool but I am here to try to grasp a small measure of what each of you take for granted every day... a greater knowledge.
On to my theory...
For some reason it always stuck with me my freshman year of college physics about how under examination sometimes an electron would disappear from one orbit and instantaneously reappear in another… at least that the way I remember it being told by my professor (it has been a few years). At the time he also said they could not understand how, but it was a type of teleportation because it didn’t fly from one point to anther, it simply was in a different space instantaneously.
Now at the same time I was in my Freshman Algebra class and we were studying asymtope holes, I remember them as being a space where it was mathematically impossible for anything to exist in a certain point.
Again I would stress my ignorance on both math and physics for it was my lot in life to be an English major (no snickering out there), but here is what I could not get off my mind but never asked. What if an Asymtope hole existed inside the orbits of electrons… they do move, but they pass thru a spot where nothing can be so it seems to the eye that they teleport. In my minds eye, I can see it, but like I said… I’m not the great thinkers that you all seem to be.
Could someone tell me if this idea is totally spurious or could it have some outlandish theoretical possibilities?
