Abstract: Let $M$ be a connected, simply connected, oriented, closed, smooth four-manifold which is spin (or equivalently having even intersection form) and put $M^{i}mes:=Msetminusmpoint$.In this paper we prove that if $X^{i}mes$ is a smooth four-manifold homeomorphic but not necessarily diffeomorphic to $M^{i}mes$ (more precisely, it carries a smooth structure `a la Gompf) then $X^{i}mes$ can be equipped with a complete Ricci-flat Riemannian metric. As a byproduct of the construction it follows that this metric is self-dual as well consequently $X^{i}mes$ with this metric is in fact a hyper-K"ahler manifold. In particular we find that the largest member of the Gompf--Taubes radial family of large exotic ${mathbbR}^4$'s admits a complete Ricci-flat metric (and in fact it is a hyper-K"ahler manifold). These Riemannian solutions are then converted into Ricci-flat Lorentzian ones thereby exhibiting lot of new vacuum solutions which are not accessable by the initial vaule formulation. A natural physical interpretation of them in the context of the strong cosmic censor conjecture and topology change is discussed.
