Scientists have proposed a new explanation for the origin of supermassive black holes, the most powerful gravitational objects in the universe. They suggest that supermassive black holes formed from the collapse of massive clouds of gas and dust in the early universe. This scenario could explain how some supermassive black holes grew quickly and became billions of times more massive than the sun.
