Hello,
I need your help.
Could you tell me if the following sentence is correct and sounds natural?
You can imagine how molecules are needed to make the entire univrse.
Thank you so much for your effort. |

There's a typo in "universe" but beyond that the sentence is grammatically correct.
"You can imagine how molecules are needed to make the entire universe" would be a statement of fact.
"You can imagine how molecules are needed to make the entire universe?" Same structure but this time a question. In spoken language this would be reflected by intonation. Alternatively "Can you imagine how..."
"Now you can imagine how molecules are needed to make the entire universe" would be a concluding sentence after an explanation.
Which sentence you choose will to a large extend depend on the preceding text.
All clear?
David
