is theoretical research different from regular research? like are they not required to get an institution (a uni or a research center) to back them?
i’ve also read similar things about papers in the field of math and i think chemistry too about historical figures publishing while working unrelated jobs

Most journals will accept good papers from any author, that’s a principle of academic openness. That said, it’s a lot easier to get something published if the journal’s editor recognizes your academic institution and can call up some friend that knows your work to vouch for you.
In actuality, the past was not as good as the present, and for example it was much, much more difficult for a woman to get a paper published than a man. Conceptual openness still is implemented with unreliable and biased humans.
