When I say the cosmos may be self-existent I mean that it is able to exist somehow of itself without need for dependence on an origin outside of itself. I do not know what physicists say about this in general except that at least a few have made arguments for this possibility (an eternal self-existent universe). I will be looking for threads on this topic or if need be start one myself.
