The nuclear equation of state is used to describe the behavior of nuclear matter at various temperatures and pressures. It is shown that the equation offers an insight into new phases of matter and conditions inside a supernova or during the big bang. The paper includes a discussion of the structure of matter and examines the methods for exploring the events inside massive nuclei and for investigating the nuclear equation of state. A phase diagram that renders the nuclear equation of state in graphic form is presented, showing the temperature-density conditions for the formation of condensates, the plasma phase, and the particles that include strange quarks, such as multistrange metastable objects ('memos') and strangelets.
