DETROIT – As you probably know, an annual NBC tradition is airing “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Christmas Eve and this year, more than any other year, we need that movie.
There is a way cool science angle to the movie that nobody knows about: Near the beginning, remember the scene where the angels in heaven choose an angel named Clarence to head to Earth to save George Bailey? If he completes his mission, Clarence finally gets his wings. Well, there’s an ultra-cool science angle to that scene.
