What is Physical Cosmology?
Is a "physical cosmology" an equivalent term for "reality", or "universe". If I were to say one could "rewrite cosmology in any way they wish, even if logically impossible", would that be an equivalent statement as saying one has omnipotent control over energy/matter, spacetime, and the physical laws and constants?

I know those aren't the whole, or even true cosmologies, but I'm talking about the word in and of itself. If I were talking about a universe's "cosmology", wouldn't I be talking about it's spacetime, matter/energy, and physical laws/constants, as I am talking about it as a totality, including it's beginning and end?
And here I thought this was a thread directed towards me. Turns out it has nothing to do with physics. Oh well.
No. As explained below. The cosmological model wouldn't suffice either as it's simply a theoretical model based off our understanding of the universe.
A restriction is a consequence of logic. So if you're not limited by logic then there shouldn't be anything that you wouldn't be able to do. In other words; yes, you would be omnipotent.
Publishing a very evocative, very convincing new religious/philosophical text. That's what it would mean.
You don't understand what the word means.
Wikipedia defines Physical Cosmology as "the study of the largest-scale structures and dynamics of the universe and is concerned with fundamental questions about its formation and evolution"

I don't know which term to use. What if I said "rewrite physical laws and constants"? Would that include spacetime and matter/energy? I need a term that is all-compassing. Thank you for the assistance

So if I were to say "one could rewrite the laws of physics anyway they wished, even if physically, mathematically, or logically impossible", that would intrinsically imply within it "omnipotent control over matter and energy"?
