X = stringReverse( Ohm3 )

Later, they changed X to

X = 240px-Ernst_Werner_von_Siemens = 1 /( Ohm3)

What is X?

This phrase originated on this globe (created sometime in the early 1500s).

It has, since, become quite popular, especially in the geek world where it’s used almost everywhere ranging from undocumented code to online mapping communities to famous webcomics.

What phrase?

(Late question is laaaaate. This will stay up for 12hrs longer!)
