I think equation guessing might be the best method to proceed to obtain the laws for the part of physics which is presently unknown.

And this is what theoretical physicists essentially do. However it is a highly, highly educated form of guessing. Theory must be developed to guide the guessing and tell us, for example, where to guess. For example with field theories, physicsts seek the simplest Lagrangian that accomodates the interactions and symmetries they are searching for. Without a theoretical development that guides as us as to the *form* that physical theories should take we could not even begin guessing.I think equation guessing might be the best method to proceed to obtain the laws for the part of physics which is presently unknown.
