Einstein–Rosen bridge

A 1935 mathematical solution in general relativity: two sheets of space joined by a bridge. Later nicknamed a wormhole. The paper was about representing particles without singularities, not about travel.

Traversable bridges have not been observed. In 2013 Maldacena and Susskind conjectured that some such bridges are related to quantum entanglement (ER = EPR). That is active theory. It is not a method for changing timelines, navigating dimensions, or sending messages faster than light.
