polarisation (countable and uncountable, plural polarisations)

  1. Non-Oxford British English standard spelling of polarization.
    • 1979, Bhavan’s Journal, XXV, issues 13-26, 269/1:
      One wonders whether such an event, a conscious, improbable-but-made-probable event, took place at the time of creation, the act itself being nothing but a polarisation (or separation quality-wise) of the attributeless Nirguna, a separation of zero plus x and minus x. This is indeed the genesis of the Big Bang theory of science.
