The wishes would contradict in a single reality, so nothing would happen - but if everyone was to get what they wanted, anyone with a contradicting wish would be separated into a parallel dimension.
It's the only logical way it would work. There's no reasoning for everything to disappear or be destroyed. But for a single persons every desire to be granted to them, there would have to be a plain of existence for such a thing to be possible within the limits of our reality. For one to want
x and one to want
y would be fine - these two realities will be capable of co-existing, but for one to want
x and one to want
-x would cause the reality to implode, as we all know. But to prevent this destruction, the realities would be divided into two dimensions - or
d - one being dimension
d(x) and the other being
d(-x).
As you very well might assume, each individual, or consciousness, other than the mind of where dimension
x was created, would also re-exist in this new reality - represented as
i. Of course, not every single consciousness will separate into their own dimension, as some people will both want
y, so these stable equations will be able to rejoin, making dimension
d(2y). Certain dimensional plains as
d(-x) and
d(-y) will also be able to group together, creating dimension
d(xy). Further grouping of dimensions would also be possible, far beyond modern mathematics could possibly comprehend. Being so many billions of people, it would be simply ignorant that any of the dimensions would be as simple as
-d(-xy/a²). And a hefty number of people will be divided into new levels of consciousnesses. For example, you might be separated into your own reality of existence being
d(xy/a) (post-grouping with other consciousnesses), but you're consciousness will remain
i. However, your consciousness will be cast off into a billion other realities, resulting in consciousness
i[d(ab)],
i[d(x/c(2a))], and so on.
Any consciousness willing the ultimate destruction of everything would be cast off into a negative plain of existence. For example,
-d(x), although remaining
+i. These negative dimensions would be where the impossible is possible. From this such as breathing in CO² and exhaling O², to traffic lights being Red for go and Green for stop. Okay, not exactly the best examples of impossible, but you get the idea. Backwards kind of things.
You cannot create or destroy matter - only change it from one state to another. Which brings me to my next point - where are these dimensions coming from?
Well, no new matter is being created in these new dimensions - it is simply the same matter being viewed at a different point in space. 90% of the Universe is made up of dark matter - or "nothing." Now, when these new dimensions are created, they are not physically being created - they are simply a consciousness re-existing in another place of existence, or from within a place inside the dark matter. The new rules of existence inside the dimensions being formed in the general consciousness of its creator (and of course the current metaphysical state of our current existence). With all the "real matter" in our entire universe being only around 10% of the total mass of the universe, a new dimensional plain of existence around our world would be less than 0.000000000000000000000000000001% for the individual. With some dimensional consciousnesses overlapping/rejoining, as stated earlier, the total dark matter needed to support the realities of all the inhabitants, would probably be no more than maybe 50% of the dark matter available. Of course, the time needed for each of these realities to form and begin to exist would be astronomical, but fundamentally possible, providing that no one wishes for a mass nuclear explosion to rival that of the big bang..
