يُقصد من الكون الساكن Static Universe الكون الذي اعتقد فيه أينشتاين بأن الكون لا يعتريه تمدد ولا يعتريه انكماش، بل انه كون ساكن وجميع النجوم والسدم فيه ثابتة في أماكنها .[1]

Bruno is often credited with recognizing that the Copernican system allowed an infinite Universe. In truth, the idea that a heliocentric description of the solar system allowed (or at least did not rule out) an infinite Universe was first proposed by Thomas Digges in 1576 in his A Perfit Description of the Caelestial Orbes, in which Digges both presents and extends the Copernican system, suggesting that the Universe was infinite.
