It may be more difficult but you can get published without having a PHD behind your name. You do not have to be a scientist to learn how to draft a scientific paper. I get that you have put lots of time and effort and have done much of the ground work, but it will never go anywhere unless it gets actual peer review and interest in the science community. You may even spur another scientist to take your studies further.We are, after all, only hobbyists; and among hobbyists all you will find is differences of opinions. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />You have come  this far with the research, might as well take it all the way if you think you are actually on to something. Take it to some actual experts and get their opinion on where to go with it.</blockquote>
