Can you use a semibreve or whole note in a 2 4 time signature?
Ideally, a 2/4 time signature means two beats to the measure, and the quarternote gets one beat. That means that a half-note is the longest you could use, as any larger duration note exceeds what a measure can hold. However, there are certain kinds of notation which attempt to simplify reading, and others which are based on older notation systems, and even some experimental notation systems which allow placing a note which is the length of duration, and leaving empty measures or portions of measures until the next note starts. A caveat goes with using non-standard notation systems for modern-day musicians: few are interested in dealing with any notation system which acts purely for the benefit of the composer/arranger. Some notation systems complicate reading without providing any real benefit at all (such as tying a note across a bar line to a dot, instead of to a note of half the duration of the first note). The purpose of notation should be to get the composer's intentions across to the performer. It is rare that a departure from the system known well by performers is accepted and used beyond the life of the originator... and who wants to write unforgettable music, then clothe it with a notation system that is doomed to be forgotten? A small historical note: The idea of the measure, delineated by bar-lines and constrained between them with a strict count of beats, is relatively new. It has evolved from a system (in steps) which relied on mensural signs which included symbols (whole or broken circle, slashes and dots) from which only two have survived, C and slashed-C. The point between the original neumatic notation and our current notation system that is most accessable to modern musicians is probably the White Mensural Notation system that was popular between approximately 1450 and 1530. In this system, vertical lines were used for division of large sections or small sections, but not division of equally-counted measures. If you are, or become, really interested in why music notation looks like it does, find Wily Apel's "Notation of Polyphonic Music, 900-1600" (ISBN-10: 1849028052, ISBN-13: 978-1849028059).

Who discovered music notations?
Music notation is not a discovery, but a development. Or rather, calling music notation a discovery is akin to calling the English language a discovery, or an architect the discoverer of a building, or an artist the discoverer of a painting. There have been many different forms of music notation throughout history, so it's hard to say who first started using music notation.

What is the origin of fortissimo?
Fortissimo means "strongest" or "loudest" in Italian, and is used in music notation. Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1556-1612) was the first known composer to use the terms piano and forte, which refer to volume/intensity of a musical note or notes.
What is standard music notation?
It is, world-wide, the most accepted way of notating conventional western music (both pop/rock and classical music). In contrast to standard methods there are many new, contemporary ways of notating complex music (often a composer creates their own notation system) that may not be possible in standard music notation. Standard notation can give the musician information like: What instrument to play on, what note to play, how long that note is to be played, how soft or loud to play, what kind of playing technique to use, what mood to convey, when not to play, etc. For specifics regarding notation go online and find tutorials on how to read music as this can not be covered in a short post here.
