How does convection happen when a hand feels hot when placed over a lit match?
The gases from the burning match are lighter (or more precisely: less dense) than the surrounding air, because of the heat; therefore they rise.

Who and when invented thermal energy?
Nobody invented thermal energy. Thermal energy has been available almost for ever. Stars radiate energy and that electromagnetic radiation is converted to thermal energy by whatever object it falls on - planet, satellite, meteor, comet, dust particle, etc.
