Do you have an actual source for this "law" that isn't yourself?
Yes, many. It is in a great many books on hydrostatics, and phrased a number of different ways (both mathematically, and more often - in english). One way it is described in modern textbooks is "Fluids at rest cannot resist a shear stress" or equivalent.
You seem to be misunderstanding what a scientific law is, and why.
We establish them by measuring what is, not what we imagine might be.
When we measure water's surface at rest, again - barring negligible surface tension artifacts, it is always flat, level, and horizontal. The "source" of this law, as well as the place to look for a citation validating (or invalidating, as it appears you hope) it is reality! Still, if you trust books more than you trust your own competence to assess reality - there are many available on hydrostatics.
Then for fuck's sake provide one. Why can't you?
I don't do people's homework for them, it makes them weaker/less competent students.
I can help you find one if you earnestly look and fail. My only request is that you earnestly try first, and then share what you tried. Are you afraid you might confirm what i'm saying, and so refuse to look?
Conclusion: you made up this "law".
Just another flat Earth liar who cannot substantiate his claim.
