To which "accepted model" are you referring – the cosmological model for the Universe, the determination of black hole masses, the formation and growth of supermassive black holes, or something else? As @nilkn notes, this discovery is in conflict with existing models of the formation and growth of (some) supermassive black holes, which is a reason this paper is in Nature.

It doesn't have anything to do with the universe being virtual or computable. Perhaps you are thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_physics.
