personally define as "Cosmos" that which was "created" or "formed" by the
"Big Bang", as such there are many Cosmoi (pl) but if you regard the
"Cosmos" as everything..then of course nothing can, by definition, be
outside of everything. I think perhaps it would be best if there was a
better word for the container of creation.
