Probably the next best example of guessing our way through physics is Yang-Mills theory - non-abelian gauge theory - which at first was thought to be too good not to be found in physics, but we had no clue where, and then it was found that it solved the mystery behind the Stong force, and gave rise to Quantum Chromodynamics.
