What events led to the final gunshot?

I am trying to remember a quote I once read by Max Planck. Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and other scientists were at a meeting or convention regarding relativity or some other scientific theory. Planck said something like "As the [some scientific theory] cannot extend the time for this meeting, this meeting is adjourned."

Does anyone know of the quote I am asking about?

What is the exact quote by Max Planck?

What was the meeting?

not sure of the quote but the solvay 1927 conference was very big.

This is a famous quote by Max Planck,

They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over. To make any kind of sense of it, I need to go back three years. Back to the night the pain started.
