I'm familiar with the theory also, often stated as a paradox in that potentially the longer you waited to leave the sooner you would arrive (I used similar logic when commuting into Boston for work), but I've never seen it given a formal name.

He clearly demonstrated that the later, faster ship would never catch the slower ;-) |
