I lost you during the first trig substitution but I believe you. I was never good at calculus in college. I became a big fan of Richard Feynman after reading, "Surely you're Joking Mr. Feynman". I would love to have meet him over a beer , he was a fascinating character.

Same here I can't seem to figure out how to know where to place the parameter, or when to introduce an entirely new function of t. I've asked on forums and got the typical response of "do more practise problems bro. "

Wouldn't e**-tx collapse only if t is not zero as x goes to inf? But later we are substituting t as 0. How does that work?

We're letting t go to infinity That collapses the integral

We want the negative imaginary part of (t + i) divided by (t^2 + 1), right? Well, separating it into real and imaginary, we get t/(t^2 + 1) + i*[1/(t^2 + 1)]. The imaginary part is 1/(t^2 + 1) because we're stripping the i when we take the imaginary component. But then, we want the negative imaginary part, so that's -1/(t^2 + 1). I'm not sure why OP never bothered to answer your question, as it's a good one. I'm sure a lot of people were confused by that.

at 3:35 you use 2 in front of integral , where is the 2 , i think the result must be multiply by 2.

The function sin x / x is an even function. For the definite integral of an even function, there's a very handy result: if your interval is symmetric you can just take half the interval and double the result to get your answer. This result can help in some nastier integration situations. OP showed the function was even when he plugged in (-x) for x and got the original function. He then used the result, but he wasn't explicit in telling us that he used the result, as it's fairly elementary given the other manipulations he was doing. Good for you for asking for clarification.

This is Leibniz's technique NOT Feynman's. Feynman took this from a book on Advanced Calculus. The real name of the technique is "Leibniz Integral Rule". To attribute this to Feynman is complete BS. He didn't come up with it. The book he got this method from as well a several other gems is: Advanced Calculus by Woods, 1926.

I mean, you're not wrong, but the technique was pretty niche until Feynman gave it a renaissance back in the day. So a lot of people call it "Feynman's trick" as shorthand. I don't think anyone was trying to take anything away from Leibniz, who is a great contributor to mathematics. Frankly, there are a ton of theorems in mathematics that have one person's name on them despite being proven by someone else, so if this bothers you, you probably shouldn't delve too deeply into math history.
