The way, in which quantum information can unify quantum mechanics (and therefore the standard
model) and general relativity, is investigated. Quantum information is defined as the generalization
of the concept of information as to the choice among infinite sets of alternatives. Relevantly, the
axiom of choice is necessary in general. The unit of quantum information, a qubit is interpreted
as a relevant elementary choice among an infinite set of alternatives generalizing that of a bit.
The invariance to the axiom of ch
