What are the dangers of space junk?
Everything is attracted to everything else by gravity. So, over time, space junk will attract other space junk and join with it. This larger amount of space junk could potentially come closer and closer to Earth (as the force of gravity on it is now greater, and with a greater mass it becomes more difficult to keep it in orbit). Eventually it might crash into the Earth, conditional on not burning up in the atmosphere. The orbit of space junk could bring it in contact with, destroy and make space junk of, commuication satellites, probes, telescopes etc.

if its in orbit, then it will stay up there forever unless something hits it close enough to the Earth for it to fall.

Who discovered space junk?
Space junk is not really a discovery. Humans put it there. We've got large quantities of junk orbiting our planet because we don't pick up after ourselves. It's not really any more of a discovery than litter is. There's no Christopher Columbus of litter, and that's basically what space junk is. So I can't really tell you who.
