1000000 bit on copper wire would occupy about 50000 metres of the stuff to
rely on the propagation delay to store the data. How about you do a serial

by 200ish metre cables then re-serialise the data at the other end. Or even
don't bother with the serialisation and leave it as a byte wide delay line
and then you don't have to stress on the logic speed issue.

Maybe if I engaged my brain when I did my math it would be best. Copper is
20m/bit not 20bit/m oops.So my idea would need 8 by 78km wires. And even
then my logic was no good anyway, the segmentation of the line length does
not get power of 2 increase in data density.
