He doesn’t have his own achievements?

I have heard of the Nyquist frequency, the nyquist limit, the nyquist sampling rate and the Shannon nyquist theorem.

As far as I know no other individual has had this many “things” named after him.

The GP used a double negative.
Did you skip over the word "isn't"?
