in physics you can catch a flying object with formule, laws, proofs and throries.
but wats wrong now with physics in a fly case? evertime there remains a probability of 50% you will or not.

Is there any success?

You have a naive view of probability. Not every situation has a probability of 50% just because there are two options. For example, if I asked what the probability of you being able to walk through a solid wall is, it is not going to be 50%. We say that there is a 50% probability when there are two possible choices but we have no other information that would cause us to favor one choice over the other.

In physics many questions are idealized for you to develop an understanding of how physics works. Objects are often mathematically perfect, like blocks or spheres. Wind resistance is often negligable. Numbers are often intentionally simple to work with.

A fly is something physicists have not considered themselves with. Although, if they did, fly catching heuristics would be improved, I would think. Simply stated, there is too much to consider, and not enough information. For any given fly, we don't know it's mass, or it's center of gravity. Most importantly we don't know what's going on in it's brain, and what decisions it will make next.

Rest assured, though, the behavior of the fly is deterministic and could theoretically be calculated and predicted by physics.

i think it is because of its vision it can see all around itself
