Solid, spherical, multi-layer whatever.
You aren't going to get electrons or photons to move faster than light.

Look at the MHz you imply with the above figure and then calculate the trace
size that would be needed to prevent breaking the speed of light.

9cm of wire takes a full nanosecond to transverse.

I'm not saying it is impossible.  Just that it is not possible with any physical
process we know of now.
