We discover that a class of bubbles of nothing are embedded as time dependentscaling limits of previous spacelike-brane solutions. With the right initialconditions, a near-bubble solution can relax its expansion and open the compactcircle. Thermodynamics of the new class of solutions is discussed and therelationships between brane/flux transitions, tachyon condensation andimaginary D-branes are outlined. Finally, a related class of simultaneousconnected S-branes are also examined.Comment: 47 pages; v2 introduction to Weyl cards added, comments added, references added, typos corrected, matches JHEP versio
