A- This is a sprinkler device called the Feynman inverse sprinkler- the direction in which an inverse sprinkler would rotate was a famous debate to which Feynman had provided many answers in his autobiography, Surely, You're joking Mr.Feynman!
B-The very famous Feynman Diagram which defines the Quantum field theory , a theory which is proving every law of Newton and everything yet in Physics wrong!
C-Such a thing is called a Flexagon, and was found by Arthur Stone- His colleagues included the legendary Richard Feynman who started the Princeton Flexagon committee, made a mathematical theory to represent a flexagon, and also invented a diagram for analysing it! The process shown here is one to reveal all faces of a flexagon called Tuckerman Traverse.
D- The Feynman Checkerboard or Relativistic Chessboard model was Richard Feynman's sum-over paths formulation for a free spin 1/2 half particle moving in one direction.
Richard Feynman is considered the most famous scientist after Albert Einstein ever. He was in the infamous Manhattan project which made the first ever atomic bomb and also in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster probe committee.
