It tastes different because, to the best of my knowledge, sea salt is flaky versus the beads of "normal" salt. They dissolve on your tongue differently causing a different amount of salt taste.
They aren't different in any other way.
Also the lack of any Dune references was disappointing.

If you put iodized table salt on top of a brownie instead of something flaky like Maldon, you're going to have a bad time.
