In this talka Ipresent several interesting aspects of dynamical tachyon condenser tion. Firstly, I demonstrate how under the rolling tachyon background the physical open string degrees of freedom exhibit Carrollian behavior and cease to propagate. Second, I present effective actions of Spacelike branes (S-branes). It turns out that they are quite usefu1 for describing formation of fundamental strings and lowerdimensional D-branes in dynamical tachyon condensation. a This talk is based on the
