Why does music written in a minor key sound "sad" or "downbeat," while music in a major key sounds "happy" or "upbeat"?

It all boils down to the third according to
The minor third is one note lower then that of a major
But why
Many great answers here but they seem to suggest it has to do with cultural bias and perception combined with dissonance, something to do with two closely spaced notes hitting our perceptions at the same time but there really is no definitive answer as each person can perceive the music differently based on their cultural preconceptions.
