awesome fictional terminology

I think some of the terms used in science fiction are awesome. Some of my favourites -

The Arc of Infinity - an interdimensional gateway (from Doctor Who).

The Ark of Truth - a device designed to brainwash whoever looks into it (from Stargate).

The Shadow Proclamation - a galactic treaty enforced by an agency of the same name (Dr Who).

Gravimetric field displacement manifold - the reactor used in warp drive, also known as the warp core, which uses dilithium as a regulator (Star Trek).
