We follow the point of view that superstring theory, as the theory of quantum gravity in the number of spacetime dimensions bigger than 4, serves as mathematics for both, 4 dimensional QG and exotic smoothness on open 4-manifolds. Extra-dimensions, supersymmetry or some other string techniques, belong to the mathematical toolkit suitable for the above purposes. Physics in dimension 4 is reached via exotic 4-geometries on ℝ4. In the paper we discuss the techniques of exact superstring backgrounds, CFT and SU(2)k WZW models, as suitable for the description of effects assigned to the magnetic field and its gravitational backreactions on exotic Euklidean ℝ4 which is the underlying smoothness for the 4-dimensional spacetime.
