Scientific methods have found the universe to be of a certain organised form as radiant energy, the atoms and molecules of the elements and compounds of matter, the species of living organisms, galaxies of stars and planetary systems, groups, clusters and walls of galaxies around cosmic voids.
Now suppose there is something that scientists have missed that can be described to sufficiently explain how the universe is in this organised form.
So that, while physicists may conceive of theories that would unify the known fotrces, only by considering evidence of all this natural organisation of matter and energy together in one methodical account, could enough details be discovered and sufficiently justified and described of a further and quite distinct universal cause. And this would be a cause that invisibly acts in addition to the known forces so that the cosmos can be and remain in its naturally organised form as matter and energy.
Thus scientific methods have also found details that can be described of two forces that can be considered to act universally in a certain way. One is the force of gravity that can be described to explain the weight, fall and orbital motion of objects on the large scale. But on the very large scale of galaxies and collections of galaxies it is found that the behaviour of the observable matter cannot be explained by the action of gravity as described from the smaller scale motion of objects, although a similar anomaly has also been measured from space vehicles called Pioneer 10 and 11.
Scientists have postulated that there needs to be some invisible form of dark matter to explain the behaviour of galaxies. But experiments carried out since 1987 have yet to direcly detect and identify such matter. Also, dark matter cannot be described to explain how it is that so any galaxies are spiral in form, and there are problems in explaining the largest scale structure of galaxy walls and cosmic voids by postulating any form or forms of dark matter.
Then there is the problem of how to explain the measured acceleration in the expansion of the universe, which seems to require vast amounts of a just as mysterious and invisible form of dark energy.
Another cosmological problem has arisen from the measurement of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). For the CMB is regarded as the remnant energy that was released when the universe was aged about 300,000 years and when it first became atomic. Slight variations in the density of this radiation have been found, which can be regarded asevidence of the origin of the formation of galaxies snd larger scale structure. But current theory predicts, that on the largest scale, this energy should be uniformly distributed. Whereas a preferred overall direction or axis has been measured.

While the action of gravity can be observed and measured from its effects as it surrounds objects on the astronomical scale, the electromagnetic (em) force has been measured from its effects on the very small scale where it can be described as surrounding the subatomic components of atoms and molecules called the electron and the atomic nucleus. The em force is some forty orders of magnitude stronger than gravity as it attracts electrons toward s the nucleus and repels between electrons.
So, while it may well seem as though there is no other cause that couls affect the motion of electrons, the thought could be that it is not the action of em force, togther with the two forces that only act wihin the nucleus, that could alone explain the huge variety in the forms of matter as the elements and their compounds and the species of living organisms.
One reason why the discovery of any further universal cause coild be missed by scientists is because the kinds of evidence that need to be examned together to discovr enough details of the cause are quite different from each other, and from each kind, when examind alone, no cause need be thought to act in addition to the known forces.
Also, the means of describing this cause in enough detail, which for the most part, could not be dscribed as actiing in any way by pushimg or pulling obejcts, would need to be quite unlike any methods used before, and a whole new cosmology needs to be conceived, justified and developed to replace the present standard model cosmology, which assumes only the action of the known forces.

Then another reason for missing this discovery would be that, most crucially, the experimental findings need to be considered of the unique behaviour of matter and the energy that matter radiates on the smallest scale. So here there can be considered, on the one hand, the evidence that can be observed, detected and measured of the nature and behaviour of objects and, on the other hand, what cannot be observed, detected or measured by any means of these objects.
