They don't.
You have not understood what the theories try to explain.
You will need to do a great deal more reading and learn a great deal more about mathematics before you can approach even a rudimentary knowledge of what is being theorised here.

What is a very energetic distant object that may be powered by a black hole?

Quasars or active galactic nuclei are thought to generate high energy relativistic jets at their poles, powered by a black hole.


What is a distant extremely bright galaxy with the black hole at Center called?

The most luminous and distant objects known to science are called quasars and generally accepted to be the nuclei of active galaxies, or in other words supermassive black holes with their relativistic polar jets aimed towards earth.


What is a super heated quasar?

Quasars or quasi-stellar radio sources are the most energetic and distant members of a class of objects called active galactic nuclei (AGN). Quasars are extremely luminous and were first identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio waves and visible light, that appeared to be similar to stars, rather than extended sources similar to galaxies. They cannot escape a black hole. Only Hawking Radiation can escape a black hole.


Where are the intensity of cosmic rays the greatest?

On Earth, the intensity of cosmic rays increases with altitude until a maximum where the atmosphere ends; this reflects the atmosphere's shielding effect. Outside Earth cosmic rays intensity is greatest at their source or origin, which seems to be mostly outside the solar system. Although some uncertainty remains, they are believed to be created by supernovae explosions, and possibly by the relativistic jets of quasars or active galactic nuclei.


How were cosmic rays formed?

The formation and source of primary cosmic rays which originate from outside the solar system appears still to be somewhat mysterious and a subject of debate; some experimental evidence points to supernovae explosions as being one source but what fraction of cosmic rays comes from them is still a matter of interpretation. Other possible sources are active galactic nuclei or quasars, or gamma-ray burst sources. Because of the nature of cosmic rays -which are not electromagnetic radiation but particles, mostly ionized light atomic nuclei - the mechanism of the formation process itself would look to any event which can impart significant momentum to these particles of matter.

How are quasars and black hole different?

One might say a quasar is a highly luminous area powered by a particularly massive black hole. Quasars were once mysterious; the general agreement now is that quasars are active galactic nuclei, whose emissions are powered by the supermassive black hole in the galactic center, the area around the black hole including the accretion disk and polar jets being detectable at great distances due to the immense energy these release. Black holes, by contrast, are not intrinsically luminous; in fact, they earn their name in that they absorb light that falls into them never to be released, and detectable only by their gravitational influence on other bodies, infalling matter, secondary effects, etc.


How is a quasar created?

Quasars, or "Quasi-stellar radio objects", are incredibly distant, extraordinarily bright radio sources. Because they are so distant, we're looking "back in time" to see them as they were billions of years ago. We believe that quasars are - or were - active galactic nuclei, when the galaxies were forming their central supermassive black holes. If we could look back in time by 5 billion years, we would probably see a similar occurance here in the Milky Way. And if we could see those quasars as they are today - instead of seeing the light and radiation that they were generating when that light was new - we'd probably see that the object was a fairly ordinary galaxy with an "ordinary" super-massive black hole at the center.

What is the suspected energy source of quasars and related objects?

A Quasar, or Quasi-Stellar object is the central compact region of certain galaxies from which emanates more energy than the rest of the host galaxy combined. These central regions are hence referred to as AGN's, or Active Galactic Nuclei. The question asked by astronomers was how could so much energy be generated in such a relatively small region? The generally agreed consensus among astronomers is that the central engine is a massive - or supermassive - blackhole. This is not directly visible to optical telescopes but we can detect the energy output in radio and other wavelengths. The huge amounts of energy are thought to be generated by the action of surrounding material being sucked into the black hole and being superheated by the extreme gravitational effects. As matter falls into the black hole gravitational energy is converted into the energy we can detect coming from the galaxy's central region.

Why are cosmic rays produced?

The origin of cosmic rays, which are actually not electromagnetic radiation but rather particles, protons and atomic nuclei - continues to be mysterious, but they are believed to be created during supernova explosions, and also likely created by active galactic nuclei.
