How to find forces that are not yet known?

How to find forces that are not yet known?
How would one go about to find forces that are not yet known or found?
I've always found that there are at least two or more explanations for most of the things and that is how one should go about to discovering new forces.

If i have a glass that is full of water i can say that the glass is not empty because there is water in the glass.I can also look at an empty glass and say that it is empty because it is filled with air.So I've discovered water and air.Is this how people find new forces?


So if an object is floating in space one explanation for it would be that it is because there is no(or negligible) gravity acting on it.
(Like saying that the glass is full because it is filled with water.)
Another explanation would be that it is because (some unexplained force) is acting on it and that is the reason it is floating?

So how exactly would one go about to find stuff that we don't know yet exists?
