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):

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