Adam Brown and Leonard Susskind write in their new paper, "A holographic wormhole traversed in a quantum computer": "The idea of a wormhole dates back to 1935, when Albert Einstein and his collaborator, Nathan Rosen, studied black holes in the context of Einstein's general theory of relativity. [...] In the same year, Einstein and Rosen wrote another paper, this time in collaboration with Boris Podolsky. [...] At the time, these two ideas - wormholes and entanglement - were considered to be entirely separate". I will show in this comment that for Einstein the Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridge and the EPR argument were not "entirely separate".
