Well I am talking about apples falling. To predict exacty where they will fall you need to know at least:
a) detailed knowledge of mass distribution underground
b) detailed and actual state of air between end points
c) complete and accurate description of shape and surface properties of the said apple
d) detailed and accurate description of the detachment of said apple from branch of tree.
Are you Mandrake, my friend?
or you can do assumptions ...
