The Flash alternative reality. Paradox or not?

Recently, we've been binge watching The Flash. We're at the beginning of season 2, and are now dealing with parallel universes. Last season we dealt with the concept of time travel. Time travel is more familiar to me, and I felt the temporal loops were consistent. I am now wondering about the new 'door' between Earth 1 & Earth 2. A door opens between parallel universes, ans all sorts of baddies come through to destroy The Flash on Earth 1, because the ultimate villain, Zoom, on E2 is obsessed with destroying all possible versions of his nemesis across time, space, and even dimensions. Is interaction between the two worlds consistent with them being alternate realities? If they interact, are they rather not the same reality?

I am not entirely sure. It doesn't seem entirely inconsistent, but then again, the idea of the world's being both alterative & interactive does seem paradoxical.

Does anyone else watch the flash? Discuss!
