Who invent gamma rays?
No one "invented" gamma radiation. It has been here since the beginning of time. Paul Villard, a French chemist and physicist, while working with Radium, discovered the effects of gamma radiation in 1900, noting that gamma radiation was different than the previously identified alpha and beta radiation.

Can X rays have higher energies than gamma rays?
Gamma rays have energies higher than that of X-rays. It is true that there is some overlap of the upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum, but the X-ray spectrum falls below that of the gamma ray spectrum. For these reasons, if someone asks if X-rays can have higher energies than gamma rays, the answer would be in the negative.
