In Interstellar movie I almost had a syncope when Dr. Romilly explains how a wormhole works to Cooper as if he were a 5-year-old child and not a former NASA astronaut.

You’re not going to believe the name of Christopher Nolan’s production company.
Syncopy.
Do NASA astronauts have a course on wormholes? You know… just in case.

Thanks, Stargate & Stranger Things!
Pretty sure this explanation came from Event Horizon first.
It is by no means an exhaustive list. Those are just the ones that sprang to mind.
I wonder if anyone has posted a supercut of this trope on YouTube…
I think remembering that, at least in movies, it originated with Event Horizon is critical because it is the only one that takes into account any downside to transdimensional travel…and what a downside it was.
I will always mourn the loss of any possible director’s cut of Event Horizon where the footage was so insanely over the top that the execs almost shit their pants.
I wonder if the movie still holds up. I haven’t seen it in 20 years, but it was the most terrifying movie I had seen up until that point, and for a long time afterwards too.
Do the bottom one first. Then as next step, do the math of singularities with a paper cylinder and a paper cone, falling through curved spacetime. That’ll take a little more time and effort but you might just start blowing their minds a little deeper with the same pencil and paper folded in 3D.
Pfft, I got it the first time.
The “math” is repeated with horizontal symmetry too; these explanations are the same.
