The consequences are pretty severe. It's considered wildly unlikely that P=NP. It's like being told that sometimes 2+2 really does equal 5. Effectively everybody thinks about computation gets shot.
The fact of proving P=NP is less consequential than how it comes about. What oddity has been overlooked after all this time, with such counter-intuitive results? That is the part that has the consequences.
There have been so many incorrect proposed proofs that it is wildly, insanely unlikely that yours is correct.
