Im reading Brian Greenes book The Fabric of The Cosmos, I am just past the part about Quantum physics and he just briefly talks about the fact that there are a bunch of interpritations for quantum physics. Does anyone have a link to a list explaining the difrent interpritations?

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has some useful pages on specific interpretations:

Copenhagen interpretation:

Bohmian mechanics:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-bohm/

Everett's relative-state interpretation:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-everett/

The many-worlds interpretation (a type of relative-state interpretation):
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-manyworlds/

The Stanford Encyclopedia doesn't have a page for the transactional interpretation, but here's one by its inventor:

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
