No because there is no such as the Cambridge System of measurements.
'
I think you've seen and misunderstood publicity for or reports on, a major academic conference hosted in July 2015 by Cambridge University, on the history, philosophy and science of measurement at a time of studies into the fundamental definitions of the basic metric units.
'
Nobody was trying to invent a new system. They were looking at unit-definitions that would suit the most rigid scientific demands, such as in quantum physics and astronomy, where relating measurements to a standard metal bar is just not precise enough. It's worth noting that the University of Cambridge is particularly noted for its mathematics research and teaching.

EzraI never heard about a Cambridge system of units. In any case, the best would be to use the international standard, and that is the metric system. If everybody uses a different system of units, because he thinks it is better than others, that makes communication between different people ... difficult.

How did they derive the formula from English system to metric system?
because it is better to use metric converter than english converter
How is metric measurement different than customary measurement?
They are both systems of measurement except that the metric system is simpler and used by the majority of the world.
What is the difference between a linear meter and a metric meter?
A linear meter is a meter, in a straight line, as opposed to cubic meter, which covers a 2-dimensional plane. They are both part of the metric system. There is no metric meter, other than just referring to a meter as being part of the metric system.
Why is metrics easier to use than your system?
Because scientist all over the world uses the metric system. Say if a American scientist send his data to I don't know. Let's say Japan then they could understand it better then other systems of measurements. Because most of the sciencetist use the metric system. But this is just a reason for science. I'm sure theirs even more simpler reasons out there.
Why do people consider the metric system easier to use than US system?
The metric system uses conversion factors of 10 for all units. Instead of remembering all the different conversions between each unit (4quarts=1gallon, 5280feet=1mile, ect), you only have to memorize a couple of prefixes. The (common) metric prefixes are Milli=1000th Centi=100th Deci=10th Deka=x10 Hecto=x100 Kilo=x1000
