Spoilers Einstein-Rosen bridge

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

What movie or TV show refers to an "Einstein-Rosen bridge" as their means of, I think, either teleportation or warp drive? It's the earlier term for a wormhole, but I have a vivid memory of a female character referring to an "Einstein-Rosen bridge," but I can't think of what it is, and because it's just another name for a wormhole, Google just gives me tons of pages about wormholes.

It’s from Thor. Dr. Selvig and Jane discuss it. It’s the Rainbow Bridge/Bifrost.

• In Contact, Dr. Arroway theorizes that the alien machine transports its subject via an Einstein-Rosen bridge.

I believe an Einstein-Rosen bridge was a plot point in a later season of Eureka as well.

Thanks, all. Not sure which actress is in my head saying it, but I've seen two of those three, so it's a good bet it's one of those.

Also, screenwriters, just say "wormhole." They're pretty cool and weird as-is, without using the original name from the 1940s.

Could you be thinking of Event Horizon?

Could you be thinking of Event Horizon?

Maybe, but I saw it so long ago, it seems unlikely that a line of dialogue from it would be wandering through my brain today.

Sliders?

Maybe mentioned in one of the Stargate TV series?

If you’re hearing an actress say it, then it’s a good bet it was either Natalie Portman or Kat Dennings in Thor, which came out in 2011, so 13 years ago now!
