Spoilers Einstein-Rosen bridge

so 13 years ago now!

I did NOT need to be reminded of that

There's also The Expanse, in which the gateway created by the Protomolecule is identified as an Einstein-Rosen bridge. In the TV series, it's the female priest Reverend Doctor Anna Volovodov who mentions it on-screen as I recall.

Whilst the OP is probably thinking of Thor, the actual answer is "lots". Star Trek TNG, Voyager, DS9 is built next to one, Doctor Who, etc. Whenever you have scientists talking about one they are going to use the scientific terminology, rather than a colloquial term rooted in science fiction.

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

It seems you understood it just fine.

Different characters will speak in different ways and use appropriate terminology. This is a feature of screenwriting and characterization, not a bug.

You can also add Fringe to that list...

I'm pretty sure they were saying that the bridge between their two worlds was an E-R bridge.

You know, I have a feeling that's it, since they said it a lot more often over the course of the later seasons than it was ever mentioned in Thor.

Wormhole is scientific terminology too. Pretty sure the term comes from physics, or at least my 60-year old GR professor already talked about wormholes ~25 years ago. IIRC, an ER bridge is a specific type of wormhole.

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.

The most obvious TV show would be: Sliders. For the first two seasons a character will say "Einstein-Rosen Bridge" about every other episode.

It does come up in most sci fi tv shows and movies starting in the 90's. It comes up often enough in both Stargate and Farscape.

Wormholes are everywhere.......maybe your thinking of the movie Contact?

“wormhole” is a description-by-analogy. It was certainly first used by physicists, but it’s not a scientific term. It’s quite common for things to have common name and a technical name, eg “rotary wing aircraft” is more commonly called a helicopter.
