The image I provided was just a picture of copper foil plates, enameled printer paper, epoxied together, with a hole drilled through it and a glass tube sent through that hole. None of the connections have been made, the cathode hasn't been placed into the glass tube or anything. In an inductor voltage leads and current lags, and in a capacitor current leads and voltage lags. So, this once you have a rail to connect all of the plates, acts as a microwave frequency delay line. So, in respect to the cathode that placed inside the glass tube, there's no opposing charge to lead it down the tube until the inductive delay of a straight piece of wire has been overcome. If you place two capacitors in parallel on a battery, the smaller capacitor always charges first if there's no real resistance in the wire. But, that won't happen with this arrangement, the large plate charges first because, between the first plate and the second is an existing capacitance. So, if the first large plate goes positive, the second plate is always still more negative and order is forced. So, the Gas Plasma Discharge tube fires, current heads for the plates, then to a 1uH inductor towards ground. The stray capacitance of all of those plates will measure less than 1 picofarad. Literally, there's no difference between that stack and a block of copper of the same dimensions, well, the difference is very very small. The plates are the same thickness as the paper. As for each plate reaching it's peak voltage, that all happens much much faster than the speed of light.
In astronomy, 13.5 billion light years away, the galaxies have accelerated to near light speed and are moving away from us. Beyond that we can't tell if there are any more galaxies because, any distance farther than that and those galaxies would be travelling faster than the speed of light. They way the astronomers put it, space is moving/expanding faster than light. But, in reality, there is something there that you can move faster than light, and if your target is set up right to detect static voltages, as you would use a JFET as a detector and utilize it's ultra high input impedance to be able to measure currents much lower than a pico ampere, you'll have no problem detecting the early signal.
