Exotic structures of R^4.
How do we make sense of them? Why do they exist? What does that say about the notion of a topological structure?

I make sense of them by not thinking of them as the familiar R^4 with some weird rules for differentation. I think of them as completely different manifolds which just so happen to have the same topological properties.

Is there some practical use for this in like molecular biology or something or is this just a puzzle game
