Why does independent research from academically unqualified people without formal academic qualifications generally turn out to be a complete waste of time?

I personally relate with people (wannabe physicists) who want to do something BIG in Physics and Maths, but don't have a high level-level education (PhD) suited for it. Reasons could be a lack of jobs in pure science and the amount of time a PhD or postdoc takes.

When such people who truly love exploring and researching somehow end up doing something totally different as a job, they try to stick to studying science as their hobby. Many of these people later write research papers which they have produced themselves, targeting the big question-marks we have in science and try to get a review out of real physicist by sending them their work. But most of them (99%) are straight up wrong and miscalculated.

Why? How is the learning process for these people so different than the ones doing a PhD that their work is not even worth a real physicist's time? I mean they (wannabe physicists) must have also read tons of books for their research, they must have thought a lot, they must have gone through hundreds of research papers themselves, the only thing they might truly be lacking is seniors in the field to guide them; but I am sure many people doing PhDs also don't get that much guidance. So what might set them apart so drastically?

Why does independent research in Science from academically unqualified but enthusiastic people, generally turnsturn out to be a complete waste of time?

I personally relate with the people  (wannabe physicistphysicists) who want to do something BIG in Physics and Maths, but they just couldn'tdon't have a high level education (Phd) suited for it. Reasons could be a lack of jobs in pure science and the amount of time a PhD or postdoc takes.

  1. Lack of jobs in pure science field

  2. The amount of time phd/post-doc takes

When such people who truly loveslove exploring and researching, somehow end up doing something totally different as a job, they try to stick to studying science as their hobby. Many of these people later write research papers and stuff which they hadhave produced themselves, targeting the Bigbig question-marks we have in Sciencescience and try to get a review out of real physicist by sending them their work. But most of them (99%) are straight up wrong and miscalculated.

And I want to know why? How is the learning process for these people is so different than the ones doing phdsa PhD that their work is not even worth a real physicistphysicists time? I mean they  (wannabe physicists) must have also read tons of bookbooks for their research, they must have thought a lot, they must have gone through hundreds of research papers themselves, the only thing they might truly be lacking is seniors in the field to guide themthem; but iI am sure many people doing Phds also dont get that much guidance.
