TL;DR Summary

Scientists have made significant advances in the formation theory of supermassive black holes by using high-resolution simulations of galaxy mergers. They found that the growth of black holes primarily occurs through the accretion of molecular clouds during galaxy mergers. The dynamics of gravitational forces allow massive molecular clouds to efficiently fall into the galactic center, rapidly increasing the formation rate of stars and providing the necessary nutrients for the rapid growth of the black hole. This research provides a deeper understanding of galaxy evolution and offers a possible mechanism for the rapid growth of black holes.
