Indeed, he went to Bristol and Cambridge, whence he developed his relativistic quantum theory.

We are splitting hairs here. What is wrong? That his career dawned in Florida?
In English, "dawn" only occurs in the morning, so when used metaphorically it always refers to the advent of a thing. The word you're looking for is "twilight", which when used metaphorically means the end or decline of a thing. Thus Nietzsche's Götzen-Dämmerung is translated Twilight of the Idols.

There's also the word "dusk", which is the opposite of "dawn", but it tends not to be used metaphorically.

I'm sorry, I completely misread what you wrote!
