When the weak and the electromagnetic interaction mix, they form the gauge group U(1)_Y for hypercharge Y. This occurs above the electroweak scale, so above around 100 GeV.
In the spaghetti model, it is unclear, when the U(1) group is described, whether U(1)_EM or U(1)_Y is meant. This looks like a major issue!
Update: this is a serious issue, but not a major one. The main results of the model remain valid.
Satire about the search for a theory of everything in physics, sometimes about the strand-spaghetti model.

Spaghetti or loops?
Loops, strings, spaghetti: all these ideas are similar. All explain the area dependence of black hole entropy. But
- Loops explain gravity, but not at all QED and the nuclear interactions.
- Strings explain gravity, but not uniquely QED and the nuclear interactions.
- Spaghetti explain gravity, but also QED and the nuclear interactions.
The explanation of all interactions with the spaghetti model is also the first ever found. Schiller even says that it allows to calculate the coupling constants. Guys, have a look at it!

No Higgs yet - II
Again, the prediction of the spaghetti model is vindicated: CERN clarifies that no Higgs was found, despite rumors to the contrary. This will happen again and again in the coming months.
The spaghetti model, a model that anybody who knows physics can learn in an hour, still has all its predictions in agreement with experiments.
