We ARE making up physical laws as we go along. We see something unexpected, we try to find why it could be, we invent new possible laws of nature and we check if those laws are sticking to wall with experiments. What sticks to wall, is then called "law of nature", but it might nit be exact or true. We only know it fits what we've seen up to now.
