I believe it refers to the old spelling rule:
'I before e except after c" and I can cite several exceptions
to that rule, for example: science
"Neither the ancient foreigner nor the weird financier
seizes leisure at its fanciest height."

â(-1) is an imaginary number, often abbreviated as i
2.71818 is the value of the natural logarithm to the first power, often abbreviated as e
299792458 m/s is the speed of light often abbreviated as c
so together, it says i before e except after c, which is a popular mnemonic deviced used to help ppl spell.

(299792458 m/s)e^i
It means the light speed in the direction of y.

The old elementary-school grammatical rule "i before e except after c...".

I believe that would be i before e except after c.
I prefer: RU/18 QT*(3.14159...)
