The worm itself now appears to have included two major components. 
One was designed to send Iran's nuclear centrifuges spinning wildly 
out of control.

Another seems out of the movies: the computer program also secretly 
recorded what operations at the nuclear plant looked like, then 
played those readings back to plant operators so that it would appear 
that everything was operating normally while the centrifuges were 
actually tearing themselves apart.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
