As you go up higher there is less air. The most likely cause is that God is inhaling and you are closer to Him. This also explains storms (even the Greeks knew that), since even God has to exhale eventually.

Meanwhile, most of the universe's troubles can be traced to God's attempt to make a stone bigger than even He could lift. He threw out His back and has been resting (again) recently.
