Metron9,

The guy's name you're thinking of is Nyquist, and he's famous for the Nyquist theorem.  However, the Nyquist theorem has to do with sampling systems (such as analog to digital converters) and has nothing to do with plain old analog systems.  Thus, if you have a scope that goes to 100 MHz, then you can read a signal up to 100 MHz.  

Here's some info if you want to read more:
