It's famous because the map from the total space to the base was the first example of a topologically nontrivial map from a sphere to a sphere of lower dimension.
In fact, 3 of the exotic spheres in 10 dimensions cannot be given a metric such that the connected component of the isometry group is bigger than U(1) x U(1), so these are quite "bumpy".
I'm not sure exotic spheres are *really* relevant to physics, but it would be cool, so I'm glad some people are trying to establish connections.

  Choosing you Right Crystal Quartz Stone Sphere
Quartz sphere are composed of minerals and the colour of the sphere is determined by the element that the mineral was fused upon during their formation under the earth.
While there are many exotic mineralized crystal available for sale in the market, few comes in spherical form as they are either too small to be polished, break easily during polish or too expensive for design such as gems.
Spheres sold in shop here are normally AA, A, B and C. Grading is determine by clarify, colour and minimal crack or inclusion; not to confused with hair like crystalline in spheres of phantoms.

  Exotic sphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an exotic sphere is a differentiable manifold M, which is homeomorphic to the ordinary sphere, but not diffeomorphic.
That means that from a topological point of view M is a sphere, but not from the point of view of its differential structure.
The first exotic spheres were constructed by John Milnor in the case n = 7.

The sphere is of Rose Quartz inlaid with fifteen cushion pearls and mounted to the handle by a ring of gold spheres.
The sphere is golden jasper inset with 12 freshwater button pearls, a ring of gold spheres joins the sphere to the handle and another hematite ring is at the bottom of the handle.
When the sphere is depressed the selenite wand illuminates in electric blue and violet and the stones in the handle glow in all their colours.

In mathematics, an exotic sphere is a differential manifold M, such that from a topological point of view M is a sphere A sphere is, roughly speaking, a ball-shaped object.
But in mathematics, sphere refers to the boundary of a ball, which is "hollow".
exotic sphere is the only exotic sphere of any dimension which is a biquotient.

 Engineers Discover In Nature Exotic Structures Envisioned By Mathematicians
Their story begins with the iridescence of opals, which are composed of equal-sized spheres about a micrometer in diameter, or roughly a hundred times smaller than the size of a human hair.
The spheres are packed into a structure known as the face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice, which is exactly the same arrangement used by grocers to stack oranges or apples.
Because the opal's constituent spheres are about the size of the wavelength of light, their orderly arrangement diffracts light and causes iridescence.

It was this creation and nullification of exotic matter around the Triad that made the strange void in the middle of the gaseous nebula.
Exotic matter was one of the Holy Grail’s of modern science.

The insulator between these two electrodes is the gas inside the glass sphere, the glass sphere itself, and the air outside the glass sphere between the sphere and the second electrode inside the power supply.
All that's left to do to make the plasma sphere look more like the ones in stores is to shorten the lengths of the wires between the components and draw the sphere a little larger.
The pulsating field around the glass sphere is strong enough to excite the mercury gas inside the fluorescent bulb, which in turn excites the fluorescent coating on the inside of the glass spiral and makes it glow.

I now think the object I have been seeing all these years is a Milnor sphere with a complex fractal attractor [or rather, a very large set of attractors] on its surface--a map.
Consider the thalmacortical loop is a Milnor sphere generator and that the limbic system stores a seven-dimensional index to points on the thalamocortical hypersurface, where the hippocampus indexes space and time, and the amygdala indexes emotion in Wundt's three dimensional emotional space [Pleasure, Arousal, and Dominance].
As exotic manifolds are not diffeomorphic, one can argue that quantum amplitudes for gravity formulated as functional integrals should include a sum over not only physically distinct geometries and topologies but also inequivalent differentiable structures.

The neutron star EXO 0748-676 (blue sphere in the image) is part of a binary star system, with its companion star (yellow-red sphere in the image) supplying the fuel for the thermonuclear bursts.
The neutron star is part of a binary star system named EXO 0748-676, located in the constellation Volans, or Flying Fish, about 30,000 light year away in the Milky Way galaxy, visible in southern skies with a large backyard telescope.
Cottam and her team determined that EXO 0748-676's mass-to-radius ratio is 0.152 solar masses per kilometer, based on a gravitational redshift measurement of 0.35.  This provides the first observational evidence that neutron stars are indeed made of tightly packed neutrons, as predicted by theory estimating mass-radius, density-pressure ratios.

 Middle Woodland Period - Southeastern Prehistory.
Because of the similarity of earthworks and burial goods found at widely scattered sites in the Southeast and the area north of the Ohio River, it was assumed that a cultural continuity—sometimes referred to as the Hopewellian Interaction Sphere—existed throughout much of the eastern United States.
As distinct territorial units entered into the trading sphere, their goods would be added to a pool of reciprocal trading items, and they would have access to goods unavailable in their own territory.
Among the exotic trade items recovered by excavations in both areas were copper panpipes, earspools, bracelets and beads, stone platform pipes, mica figurines, ceramic figures, galena, marine shells, freshwater pearls, and green stone celts.

For example, a 2-sphere (the sphere you're used to) is homeomorphic to those Mickey Mouse ballons you can get at Disneyworld.
The two sphere, however, would not be homeomorphic to the surface of a donut.
This raises the possibility (at least to me), that you could define gauge theories (like the standard model) on exotic R^4's and perhaps get some physical effects that are not part of the standard model.

 Progress in Tapping Zero Point Energy for Space Exploration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Note that you need an anti-gravity repulsive core /\zpf of positive zero point energy density with negative quantum pressure to hold your EVO together because the electric repulsion energy is positive but decreases with increasing distance.
The zero point energy induced strong gravity of the exotic vacuum core needs to be positive because it then increases with separation to make a minimum well of stability in the total potential energy!

 Physicists Clarify Exotic Force, But No 'Theory Of Everything' Yet
When the sphere is brought near to the plate, an attractive Casimir force causes the cantilever to bend.
To solve the problem, the team placed a tiny sphere made of gold on the tip of a flexible cantilever, giving the impression of a ball on the end of a diving board.
A few hundred nanometers beneath the sphere was a plate made of two different materials — gold on one side, germanium on the other — both of which were then covered in a very thin layer of gold.

Thus it is of great interest to determine experimentally what energy-mimimizing configurations there might be for the exotic containers, both as an indication of the limitations of classical theory and as a guide to future theoretical study.
The infinite family of distinct symmetric equilibrium interfaces that are possible for the exotic container bulges cannot form.
The results of this test will be valuable as a control to compare with the behavior in the exotic containers, and for obtaining information about the effects on surface reorientation of resistance at the contact line and presence of the (reentrant) corner between the bulge and cylindrical portions of the containers.

 Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology - laser cavities, laser diodes, laser design, linewidth, laser safety, ...
A laser requires a laser cavity (or laser resonator), in which the laser radiation can circulate and pass a gain medium which compensates the cavity losses.
Exceptions are only exotic cases where a medium with very high gain is used, so that amplified spontaneous emission extracts significant power in a single pass through the gain medium.
When calculating light forces on atoms, it is often more convenient to derive the light forces from the gradient of a potential which arises from the interaction of the atoms with the light field.
