I will review the mechanism of “cosmological collider physics” in which future precision cosmological measurements may allow us to probe particle physics and cosmic inflation at energies which are orders of magnitude above those of terrestrial particles colliders such as the CERN Large Hadron Collider. I will apply this mechanism to searching for remnants of the grand unification of fundamental forces and other plausible high energy targets.
