Unmoved mover
The 'unmoved mover' is the first cause—that which set the universe into motion—as described by Aristotle in his Metaphysics, Book λ. As is implicit in the name, the "unmoved mover" is not moved by this action (thus acting as a sort of exception to the Newtonian law of physics that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction").
