Apparently it's a legit term used in science for "whatever you need most right now", so they must have left it in as a tip of the hat to nerds. Personally, I thought if you want someone to believe your movie, you want to make the universe complete. Even if it is an "inside joke", it didn't belong. My husband suggested they should have named it after one of the scientists (or "a" scientist), that would have been more interesting.

The scientists were the most believable characters, everyone else was over-exaggerated. Crazy military guy, money hungry CEO with no heart, blah blah. A little creeped out by the basic-ness of the "white guy becomes the best one of the natives EVAR after a long journey to find his true self" plot. Plot was thin, but they made up for it in beauty.
