Physics is math.

I'm not asking how does the ball stop or the bounce of the ball or any of it. Just the fact that it has to hit the table to bounce up and that based on the "halfing rule" it should never be able to touch the table.
Now I have no idea what you are talking about. What reasons does a ball dropped above a table have to not hit the table? It hits the table because thats just what happens when two objects move towards each other with no interference.
