[LEAPSECS] Far past and far future

[Clive D.W. Feather]

Lunar laser ranging says that the length of day is increasing by about
2.3ms per century in the long term.

But how long term is that? Does anyone have figures on how far back or
forward I can project based on that figure? What was the length of the day
in the time of the dinosaurs?

Oh, and to stop me having to reconstruct the formula from first principles,
does anyone have the relationship between length of day and distance to the
moon?

Thanks in advance.
