Contact me, and tell me what progress you've made. Not too many people seem to enjoy riddles...They'd rather have a "puzzle" that pertains to a specific background relative to themselves. This puzzle shits all over that. Contestants who have pleased me will be invited to a private giveaway that will feature a list selected from the wishlists of those invited, and then a vote to determine which wishlist game will be the prize. Provided you've made a genuine effort, I'd be interested to see how you've arrived at your answers. (As done with user: Itga <I think that's how you spell his name.>)

Add me and ask. Or talk to Itga, he was the furthest along that I'm aware of. Not a "dummy" if you don't get it. You only have to be in the right frame of mind. Once you are, solutions come to you. It isn't relying on some tertiary background, study, or area of expertise. I'm at work for ~12 hours a day, however, so keep that in mind when looking for me.

All right, I cannot make heads nor tails of this.

Sir, your puzzle intrigues me. I've been reading through it whenever I have time for the past few days and every once in a while things (answers?) come at me. I haven't solved it yet but I think I'm making some progress. I'm not asking for hints, I just wanted to let you know that I'm enjoying it and it keeps me occupied for hours. Thanks!

Well, here are my thoughts.
Second and third doors - beginning and ending, so I guess its the first and the last letters of your post: Enjoy and besT.
Binoculars can't fuction withow pair of telescopes. Thats why they're called BInoculars. So, maybe "2" is the key?
Astrophysicists are the ones who know the name of the rate. I'm pretty sure its a referrence to E=mc^2. So, c is the speed of light and its the key to the fifth door.
Well, and I didn't get Captain Midnight thing. There was a simple MC code: each letter's position in the alphabet was given a number double its numerical position (A-2, B-4, C-6 etc). But in that case 19 means nothing.

@Anoe & Greyhound:
2nd+3rd = Anoe, close but no. Greyhound, almost. Overthinking it. ("O" is not Omega. And who the hell is Nikemaker?) 4th = No. Look at any listing of binoculars from a store and you should see the answer. 5th: Correct. It is "c". 1st: Captain Midnight's code was not based on numeric values for letters. So that would count for an "almost?" I guess. Add me on Steam and grab me in chat and I'll discuss your efforts with you. Or, you can ask via Message and I'll respond as well.

Nikemaker, I get it, now, lol. Back then, by the time the Nike commercials started rolling, everyone had already figured out how to disable the ads by altering the .bat file or something. So there never was any "Time to get some shoes!" jokes. Omega not being equal to "o" : I rationalized that Omega was the last letter in the Greek alphabet, while our "O" is not. For the riddle, arriving at "O" for the answer is wouldn't be incorrect...However, the answer was simply "Z", with the 2nd being "A". I give you credit for Omega, however. Those all were very clever ideas for answers...I will consider that, for the next move.

Enjoy! I mean it - enjoy.
Five Doors.
The first allows entry only when you ASk Captain Midnight what the relevance of 19 is. If you don't, then he would only tell you "S"
The second allows entry when you recognize the importance of beginnings, and thus, it's name. Nevermind the ending, and it's name.
The third allows entry when you recognize the importance of endings, and thus, it's name. Nevermind the beginning, and it's name.
The fourth allows entry if one possesses a set of binoculars. Those binoculars possess the key. Without it, they are do not function.
The fifth, and last door, will only allow entry to astrophysicists. They are the ones who know the name of the rate. They multiply it, and multiply with it, and know the essence of All.
This was pretty easy to me, so you smart folk shouldn't have any trouble. Hint: Don't bother discussing it with each other. Solving this on your own ensures victory. Too many entries will result in the giveaway being cancelled or not gifted. This game is only for the Best of the besT.
